Comment 4 Namita Soman 2011-11-04 14:11:33 UTC 
Verified using ipa-client-2.1.3-8.el6.x86_64 & ipa-server-2.1.3-8.el6.x86_64

added client as host, set its otp, then installed using cmd below:
#ipa-client-install --domain=testrelm --realm=TESTRELM --password=1234


ipaclient-install logs have it as:
2011-11-04 09:57:34,793 DEBUG args=/usr/sbin/ipa-join -s ipa-master.testrelm -b dc=testrelm -w XXXXXXXX

But from comments above - this should be verified using 5.7 client. Started beaker job to provision one.
Comment 5 Namita Soman 2011-11-04 15:54:00 UTC 
Bug 739068 is for the 5.7 client. will update test results there for 5.7. 
marking this verified for 6.2
