Well, right now, you're not going to get any further than the cited bug
report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=965883 ) with
anaconda / i-s; that's all you get. g-i-s 0.11 should have
somewhat-working remote auth config support for the first time, though
as Simo has noted, it is more or less limited to AD and FreeIPA, and it
hasn't been tested very much at all (because up until 0.11 it was
utterly broken). Fedora 19 Final TC1 should be the first build with
g-i-s 0.11.
