Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libpam-ldap
I have a working LDAP client config using libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldap.
I can login to the system using any valid LDAP user.
However, when I attempt to change the password using 'passwd', the
following occurs
ste...@dev:~$ passwd
Enter login(LDAP) password:
passwd: password updated successfully
ste...@dev:~$
The command returns without ever giving me the chance to change the
password (although it does require the correct password to even get this
far).
Some Googling suggested removing use_authtok from vi /etc/pam.d/common-
password changing the line
password [success=1 user_unknown=ignore default=die]
pam_ldap.so use_authtok try_first_pass
to
password [success=1 user_unknown=ignore default=die]
pam_ldap.so try_first_pass
After doing this, I can now change my password using passwd.
It looks like use_authtok only makes sense in common-password if you
have installed libpam-cracklib or similar - is that correct?
Thanks
