Package: libpam-ldap
Version: 184-8.4
Severity: normal
Hello,
after installing the package it's not possible to change the password
stored on the LDAP server:
$ passwd
Enter login(LDAP) password:
passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered
passwd: password unchanged
syslog reports:
passwd[23595]: pam_unix(passwd:chauthtok): user "tettamanti" does not exist in
/etc/passwd
This is the content of common-password, as generated by pam-auth-update:
# here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block)
password [success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512
password [success=1 user_unknown=ignore default=die] pam_ldap.so
use_authtok try_first_pass
# here's the fallback if no module succeeds
The problem seems (my knowledge of PAM is rather limited) to be the
use_authtok option: the users of the system are *not* present in
/etc/password, they exist only on LDAP.
I guess that use_authtok was put there to keep local data in sync with
LDAP, right?
In this case what's needed is the equivalent of try_first_pass for for
password changing (but I don't see such an option).
