Hello,
I did write that howto based on my test configuration that was composed by:

- vSphere 5.1 (no updates)
- IPA packages 3.3.3-28.0.1.el7.centos.3 as provided in CentOS 7 at
beginning of December 2014

What's your version of vSphere? I didn't test it but a couple of other guys
notified me about problems with 5.5
Also, stupid question, I presume you had configured exactly as my test case
where IPA domain was localdomain.local, based on your output, correct?
Please provide output of the ldapsearch command requested by Martin too..

Thanks,
Gianluca
