Well the problem is that SSSD is not in 5.6 by default. ipa-client on
5.6 configures LDAP+Kerberos. In fedora there is SSSD and it is
configured. In 5.7 there will be a new ipa-client that will act in the
same way as in RHEL 6 or Fedora.

But the expectation is that they should act in the same way now. But
apparently there is some difference.

We need to understand exactly what is your use case.
What is configured in your nsswitch and pam config on RHEL and Fedora?
And if in one case it is SSSD and not in the other we need to see SSSD
configuration and LDAP and Kerberos configuration files.
