[Bug 1314095] Re: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account
This bug was fixed in the package nss-pam-ldapd - 0.8.13-3ubuntu1 --- nss-pam-ldapd (0.8.13-3ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium * return-partial-shadow-information-to-non-root-users.patch: backport upstream patch to return partial shadow information (leaving out password hashes) to non-root users. This fixes pam_unix failing in pam_acct_mgmt while trying to get password expiry information from shadow, thereby preventing the Unity lockscreen from being unlocked by LDAP users.

[Bug 1314095] Re: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account
Hello sponsors, Please consider uploading the attached nslcd patch to trusty-proposed to resolve this bug. Thank you! ** Description changed: + SRU justification: + + [Impact] + + * Summary: in Trusty, when libnss-ldapd is used, LDAP users are not able + to unlock the Unity lockscreen. Utopic and later are not affected. Some + workarounds are listed in comment #29. + + * nslcd in Trusty and earlier does not permit unprivileged users to read + shadow entries. When invoked by the Unity lockscreen, running as the + logged-in user, pam_unix returns PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL in pam_acct_mgmt + when it tries to get password expiry information from shadow. This leads + to an authorization failure, so Unity refuses to unlock the screen. + pam_ldap is not consulted for pam_acct_mgmt after pam_unix fails because + its rule is in the Additional section. + + * In Utopic and later, nslcd returns partial shadow entries to + unprivileged users. This is enough for the expiry check in pam_unix to + succeed, so the screen can be unlocked. See + http://bugs.debian.org/706913 for a discussion of the upstream fix. + + * This proposed SRU backports the upstream solution to Trusty's nslcd. + This is a change of behaviour for shadow queries from unprivileged + users, compared to the current package. An alternative, more targeted + fix would be to change Unity to ignore AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL results from + pam_acct_mgmt, like gnome-screensaver already does (see comment #29). + The nslcd change is a more general fix for not just Unity, but any PAM- + using program run by an unprivileged user. + + [Test Case] + + * Install and configure libnss-ldapd. Ensure ldap is enabled for at + least the passwd and shadow services in /etc/nsswitch.conf. + + * Log into Unity as an LDAP user, lock the screen, and then try to + unlock it again. + + [Regression Potential] + + * The patch is minimal, was written by the upstream author, and was + backported (adjusting for whitespace changes) to Trusty. The change has + already been released in Utopic and will be included in Debian Jessie as + well. + + * Regression testing should include checking that shadow queries, both + by name and for listing all users, are unchanged when issued as root. + + [Other Info] + + * Packages for testing are available in ppa:rtandy/lp1314095 + + Original description: + My setup is: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, ldap accounts, krb5 authentication, Lightdm, Unity session ldap+krb5 is configured using nss-ldapd and nslcd. It works fine. getent passwd and getent shadow works fine. I am able to login in console without any problems. I was able to login in lightdm. Then I used the lock screen. I could not disable the lock screen using my password. I rebooted my computer. Now: After logging in through lightdm, the unity lockscreen locks the screen immediately and I can not disable it using my password.

[Bug 1314095] Re: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account
Hi, Grzegorz Gutowski (gzegzol) wrote on 2014-04-29: Without suid it seems that call (with correct username) to getspnam in function get_account_info in file passverify.c in pam/modules/pam_unix returns NULL. I don't understand this behaviour. I wrote a simple c program that calls getspnam and it works as expected when called from unprivileged user. A call to getspnam(3) as an unprivileged user returns NULL; that's expected. (nss_compat returns errno = EACCESS since we can't read /etc/shadow; nss_ldapd returns errno = ENOENT as a generic not found code.) The unix_chkpwd helper is sgid to shadow so that it can read /etc/shadow, but nss_ldapd still returns ENOENT to shadow queries. If we make unix_chkpwd suid, then nss_ldapd returns real shadow results; but this is only a workaround (and a potentially dangerous one, at that). What I see happening when I attempt to unlock the screen: - the auth stack is fine; - in the account stack, pam_unix returns PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL (from unix_chkpwd), and it falls into pam_deny after that (since pam_ldap is Additional). gnome-screensaver works only because it actually ignores the result from the account stack and proceeds anyway: http://bazaar.launchpad.net /~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/gnome-screensaver/trusty/view/head:/src /gs-auth-pam.c#L519 Some possible workarounds are: - chmod u+s /sbin/unix_chkpwd (potentially dangerous, not recommended); - dpkg-reconfigure libnss-ldapd and disable the shadow service (then pam_unix doesn't try consulting it); - use libnss-ldap instead of libnss-ldapd, since it allows everyone to read shadow entries; - use libnss-sss instead of libnss-ldapd, since it does not support the shadow service at all (in trusty, at least); - make libpam-ldapd's account rule Primary instead of Additional (but this was already done and subsequently reverted by its maintainer in 0.8.8-1 and 0.8.8-2). I'm not sure why some people reported experiencing this bug when using libnss-ldap or libnss-sss. I'd want to review their PAM and NSS setups in that case. This is all about trusty so far... still have to look at utopic/vivid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems to be fixed in later releases. Using lib{nss,pam}-ldapd and
nslcd, with no custom configuration beyond dpkg-reconfigure nslcd, I
experience this bug in trusty, but not in utopic or vivid.
Also, in trusty I do not experience it when using alternative lockers
such as gnome-screensaver or light-locker, only with the Unity
lockscreen.
Setting status back to Confirmed, and I'll try to isolate the change
that fixed it.

Hello Thank you Jan! I had the correct permissions for unix_chkpwd. I replaced libpam-ldap by libpam-ldapd and now I can unlock the user session successfully. However I have some other issues I didn't have before using libpam-ldapd like I'm unable to create a local user (non ldap) or su command which gives permission denied errors. All this is probably related to PAM configuration. Anyway, thanks a lot!

I have the same problem, though I don't have any unix_chkpwd errors as it's not installed on my systems. I was able to solve it by replacing: 1) libpam-ldap by libpam-ldapd 2) libnss-ldap by libnss-ldapd 3) nscd by nslcd I think it is related to my use of self signed certificates that libpam- ldap has trouble handling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1314095] Re: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account
I've seen the same behaviour after an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. Login was still possible but the screen did not unlock. I had this message in /var/log/auth.log: hostname unix_chkpwd[26503]: could not obtain user info (username) For me this was caused by wrong file permissions on /etc/shadow.

[Bug 1314095] Re: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account
Alternate work-around: I was able to login successfully by detaching the keyboard, and using the mouse to 'click-in' my password with the on-screen keyboard. I usually had to click on Switch Account in the 'gear' drop-down menu to get the assistive technology icon to appear to get to the on-screen keyboard, but once I did, I could enter a password and that worked to log me in. It's somewhat bizarre that this would work since the setuid work-around suggested above also worked for me. If it is some problem running unix_chkpwd, then shouldn't the on-screen keyboard have just as much difficulty with that? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can Grzegorz Gutowski , Callum Dickinson, Alex Bachmeier, and Nick Piggott confirm that the original problem for them was with libpam- ldapd? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Some reference (marked as WONTFIX) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638279 Above might suggest a configuration that fixes this: check ldap first in common-auth, which currently does: # here are the per-package modules (the Primary block) auth[success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth[success=1 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so minimum_uid=1000 use_first_pass That should not be a default (having ldap first) but could be a better workaround than setuid unix_chkpwd ? ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #638279 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638279 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, I'd just like to chime in here and say that the workaround specified in #2 works for me, as well.

I've switched to sssd and that also seemed to do the trick.

[Bug 1314095] Re: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account
When I add suid root to unix_chkpwd binary: chmod u+s /sbin/unix_chkpwd then everything works as expected: both lightdm and unity lockscreen are accepting my password. Without suid it seems that call (with correct username) to getspnam in function get_account_info in file passverify.c in pam/modules/pam_unix returns NULL. I don't understand this behaviour. I wrote a simple c program that calls getspnam and it works as expected when called from unprivileged user. When unix_chkpwd (both suid root and not) is called by lightdm, then it always works good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
