The home directory issue was due to an issue with mod_dnssd (part of apache) in RHEL6. But even after fixing that, I still have login issues. Whenever I try to authenticate against active directory the webadmin/user gui seems to hang. I've looked at the network trace and it looks like the active directory authentication succeeded without issue, but the login screen just hangs. I can log in with the local admin user fine and I don't see anything in the engine.log files. Perhaps there may be some debug I can turn on to help identify what it is doing?
