In my environment, I wanted users to authenticate with thick clients using their LDAP binding credentials.
I was able to enable SSSD authentication and add my LDAP cn to the sudoers file on the fat client image. After doing an ltsp-update-image, I am able to use the sudo command with the fat client and xscreensaver is able to authenticate allowing unlock. So I believe Alkis, you are correct, copying the /etc/shadow part would work for users specifically added to the LTSP server's /etc/passwd & shadow. Should I open another bug in regard to the gnome applets not loading? I'm also missing the Clock, Volume Control, Network information, etc. (See screenshot with original request). I would like my users to at least know what time it is. ;p -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Users can log in without issue and the home folder is available. Everything works as expected except for screen locking. When locking the screen, the displays first go blank and the monitor goes to sleep. Then if i move the mouse or press a keystroke, They go black but the mouse is visible. Once I move the mouse or strike a key the second time, everything comes back up without password prompt. However, password prompt is enabled in "Brightness & Lock" The client hardware is an Intel NUC D34010WYK Also maybe related, there seems to be no system tray. No clock or username/logout buttons. I am using Ctrl + Alt + L to lock the screen. (See attached screenshot) This is a security vulnerability and I can not make the new 14.04 image available as fat clients, since they users cannot lock their workstation.
