The details would depend on different factors, for example which DNS you use. Later versions of SSSD and ipa-client can be told to not rely on the DNS auto-discovery for LDAP/Kerberos services. Later versions of SSSD also have integration with sudo, automount etc.
So the bottom line is that you might have to do more manual/scripted configuration of the client on top of ipa-client in earlier versions of SSSD and ipa-client and some features just would not be available on RHEL5 systems. But basic authentication and identity lookups would work everywhere. -- Thank you, Dmitri Pal Sr. Engineering Manager for IdM portfolio Red Hat Inc. ------------------------------- Looking to carve out IT costs? www.redhat.com/carveoutcosts/
