Still present. Has anyone found a work around? This is a potential show
stopper for a Linux deployment if users happen to need the password for
anything important. Forcing all users to use unsafe (passwordless)
storage would be an acceptable solution.
Right now I'm working around it by going to

Title:
libpam-gnome-keyring: keyring password should be updated or cleared
I've tried every password I've ever thought about, but I still can't
make Evolution function as I don't know how that keyring came into
being.
My user was never created on this machine, as they are created on the
server where no fancy-pants keyrings exist. So I guess Ubuntu just made
one the
I just added bug #376225 before finding this. I'll leave it to others
to decide whether to mark as a duplicate, since this bug is supposedly
about LDAP, Active Directory, or Kerberos also.
However, I think I can contribute to this discussion.

Having just fallen foul of this myself, I thought it worth noting that
the keyring password prompt on Intrepid specifically asks for the
*login* password. This is very confusing because what it actually wants
is the keyring password, which won't be the same once the user has
changed their login
Oh, and:
5b. If it's not possible to prompt for the old password like this, remove the
keyring entirely and create an entirely new one with the new password.

I agree that nothing forces the use of a similar password. However, it
is the default on a fresh Ubuntu install.
One possibility would be for gnome-keyring to have a configuration flag
that would indicate if the password should be synchronised with the
system password. No cleartext stored
nothing force the use of a similar password for the login and ngome-
keyring so unlocking not working would not mean that the password
change, there is also no automatic way to read a password or it would
mean the storage would not been secure since another software could read

It would know about the password change because the password wouldn't
work to unlock the keyring. The new password would obviously be the new
user login password.

how would you suggest it to know about system password changes and the
new password to use?

what do you suggest? there is no reason the gnome-keyring password and
the login one should be identical and gnome-keyring can read the user
password since that would mean this one would be stored in clear
somewhere

By default, libpam-gnome-keyring unlocks the gnome keyring using the
login password, correct?
I see no reason that this should stop working just because the user's
login password was changed.

not really no, libpam-gnome-keyring try to unlock the gnome-keyring
using the password that you typed, if you happen to have the same
password for login and gnome-keyring that works but otherwise that
doesn't

Fair enough, it *attempts* to open the keyring with the login password.
On a fresh install of Ubuntu, the passwords are the same, so the process
is invisible to the user until the password is changed.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been
reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find. The passwd
pam configuration needs to be updated there is a bug open already about
that request

This is not the job of the tools used to change the password. It is not
the responsibility of say, Active Directory Users and Computers or
ldappasswd or kpasswd to know that libpam-gnome-keyring is used on
some arbitrary machine elsewhere and somehow go and change the keyring
password on that
