Given the following standard workflow:

  1. A user supplies a username and password to an application (ie, webmail).
  2. The application authenticates the user against LDAP or AD.
  3. LDAP or AD log the authentication attempt, including the source of the request, which appears as the application IP.

Is it possible to include the IP of the user in an LDAP or AD request, in such a fashion it ends up in the LDAP or AD authentication log entries? Either: appending the information, or, replacing the application IP?

If one has access to a console server providing serial port access to a server, is it possible to reformat and re-install an OS on the server remotely?

Note that creating partitions under the existing OS and booting from an alternate partition is not an option.

Currently running RHEL6 on the server, if that makes a difference.
