Hi, I spun up a 14.04 VM to test this out as per the digitalocean guide.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libpam-ldap nscd Run through the ldap prompts as usual for my local server (basically the defaults except for ldapi:/// becomes ldap:// etc) Edit nsswitch: passwd: ldap compat group: ldap compat shadow: ldap compat Edit common-session: session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022 Edit light dm conf: sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf greeter-show-manual-login=true allow-guest=false Then reboot.... Black screen. With some disk activity after quite a while. After 234 seconds (according to the dmesg time stamps) boot up resumes but still pauses a lot. About another 2 minutes later the Ubuntu logo screen appeared I gave up waiting for the boot to finish so as I've learnt the hard way with server configs in the past, via a live cd I changed nsswitch from: passwd: ldap compat group: ldap compat shadow: ldap compat to: passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap shadow: compat ldap My understanding is compat will be checked before ldap which will let you do things like login when ldap is down if you have local users. So anyway now boot works in the normal way I login with an LDAP user. Logs in normally. If I switch account and go back to the login screen (by clicking on my local Ubuntu user rather than the LDAP one). I can then click back to my LDAP user and log back in with no issues. All the apps I had open before I switched are still there. But if I click Lock/Switch Account... (Ctrl+Alt+L), I get booted to the new lockscreen instead. Now it shows the normal box with my LDAP account name and a prompt for "Password" So I type my password in it whirrs around a second or two and then says "Enter login(LDAP) password" Then says "Invalid password, please try again", so I type it again Then says "Enter login(LDAP) password", so I type it yet again... "Invalid password, please try again" and I'm stuck in a loop. The only thing that has changed following this guide is at least I don't have to change my password but it refuses to acknowledge the password is correct. At this point if you click the cog and switch account you go back to the old login screen. Find the ldap user and login as normal as if nothing ever happened. Are there any logs for the new lockscreen that I can add to this bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323278 Title: Ubuntu Lock Screen always asks to change password when using LDAP Auth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1323278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
