Redhat LDAP / AD Support for OS Authentication

No description provided
Description

To increase system security and not use the generic root user account it should be possible to configure Redhat to authenticate users against Active Directory or other identity providers. The requirements are outlined by Redhat but the default installation lacks the necessary packages which cannot be installed without them being part of the CPACS product.

The request is for any Redhat server to support logins to the OS via Active Directory.
