This also affects setups where with TLS certificate validation (client and server), nscd is used as a 'proxy' and no certificates are readable to the users (not even per-user .ldaprc). The only solution would be having a gnome-screensaver master process which validates passwords as root (could be ugly and undoable) or using a pam module that wraps using a suid app (like pam_unix does with check_unixpwd but only for ldap, since pam_ldap runs as the invoking user..and rightly so).
So this is a very specific scenario that needs some code love, and yes as pointed out every distribution is affected as well. -- Unable to unlock screen when using ldap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
