Hello:
Yes, I just noticed the other thread. I think two people were working on
the same problem.
We are going to outsource our dial-in. Therefore, we are required to
include UID & out URL so the realm can be identified. Using email
address is simple and easy! Any suggestions?

My god it's a flashback to the OTHER thread I was just reading...
To answer your question, no. It won't work in centos or rhel.
