Before I re-invent the wheel, has somebody done this already? If so, can you share the authconfig line from your Kickstart file?

I blogged about native AD authentication last year: https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/5 All our corporate Linux systems auth against our samba4 AD servers in a similar manner. There is good information at docs.redhat.com on such integration as well and if you are focusing on c7 then realmd also simplifies this process (not available on c6).
