Description of problem: When specifying "auth" in a kickstart file, the result is not equivalent with running authconfig on the installed system. I.e., several LDAP settings are not done. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-18.37.11-1.fc18 How reproducible: Add this line to the kickstart file: auth --enablemd5 --enableshadow --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --enableldap --enableldapauth --ldapserver=192.168.1.1 --ldapbasedn=dc=mydomain,dc=com --enablelocauthorize --enablesysnetauth --updateall And also run the "authconfig" command with the same parameters on the installed system. The results of this command are: - In nsswitch.conf "ldap" was added to the passwd/shadow/group/netgroup lines. - A line for "pam_ldap.so" line is added to several files in /etc/pam.d. Furthermore, in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf anaconda writes: SASL_NOCANON onURI ldap://192.168.1.1/ (on one line, concatenated, so a newline is missing here!) And, the most important: LDAP authentication does NOT work (against OpenLDAP on RHEL6) before running authconfig manually, but it does work after.
Please attach /tmp/program.log from your installation (or, /var/log/anaconda/program.log post-install) to this bug report. Thanks.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
