Description of problem: libcurl upstream dropped support for delegating Kerberos tickets. This was applied to EL6 in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711454 The IPA project needs to be able to delegate tickets via XML-RPC (we use the xmlrpc-c package which in turn uses libcurl). This also affects certmonger which uses similar xmlrpc-c/libcurl calls to communicate with IPA. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): curl-7.19.7-26.el6_1.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install an IPA server 2. On a separate machine run: ipa-client-install using details from step 1 Actual results: Joining realm failed because of failing XML-RPC request. This error may be caused by incompatible server/client major versions. On the Apache server if you set LogLevel debug in nss.conf you'll see that the ticket was not delegated.
I have proposed a solution upstream: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.general/12226/focus=32265 Whoever is going to commit the fix, please just make sure we use the same option name/constant as upstream. Otherwise we would have incompatible API/ABI. Thanks in advance!
I sent improved patch to upstream: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.curl.library/32355 and I'm currently waiting for response.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: As a solution to a security issue, GSSAPI credential delegation was disabled, which broke the functionality of the applications that were relying on delegation, which was incorrectly enabled by libcurl. To fix this issue, the CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION libcurl option has been introduced in order to enable delegation explicitly when applications need it. All applications using GSSAPI credential delegation can now use this new libcurl option to be able to run properly.
