RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The Configuring Authentication chapter in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Deployment Guide incorrectly states that the samba-winbind package is installed by default.

According to the package manifest[1], the samba-winbind package should be installed on all RHEL variants (server, workstation, client, and computenode). However, the samba-winbind-clients package is not installed. I'll check with engineering and see what packages are required to work with authconfig. It may well be that the clients package is required or that a different version of samba-winbind is required than what comes by default.

Hi, I have recently installed RHEL 6.3 client and chose the Desktop - when configuring the authentication page in the firstboot, there is stated, that the samba-winbind is not installed and therefore man is unable to log in as an AD user. This package should be IMHO installed as a dependency for authconfig...

Mass closure.
