It's not just python, it's all the modules as well. In the end the issue isn't so much ipa-client as all the related dependencies. The ipa-client package just helps configure things, sssd does all the heavy lifting. If you wanted to backport anything I'd start there, and it is likely extremely non-trivial. I know that people still use RHEL-5 and the current 2.2-based client. It, and its related packages, generally works fine you just miss out on some of the newer features, particularly in sssd (like sudo and autofs). rob > > > On 20 August 2014 16:55, Rob Crittenden <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Walid wrote: > > Hello All, > > > > What is the recommendation on having ipa2 clients connecting to IPA 3 > > server, we have some RHEL5.3 clients (I know they are EOL, however end > > user still wants as it is) that we would like to connect them to IPA > > 3.x server running RHEL6.5. > > Should work fine with no problems. > > > Any one running free-ipa on RHEL instead of the Red Hat packages on > > RHEL5, and RHEL6? > > Depending on the versions of IPA and RHEL it can be difficult but not > impossible.
