Cannot change LDAP password when ldap_pwd_policy=shadow

[Stephen Johnson]

I'm running SSSD 1.8.6-0ubuntu0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I've hit this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/sssd/+bug/1415545, basically if
you set ldap_pwd_policy=shadow and you don't have the ppolicy overlay on
your ldap server it breaks changing passwords.
I'm just wondering if this is fixed in a later version, in which chase I"ll
have to backport it / patch 1.8.6 or if anyone knows are work around for
the problem.

Hmm, OpenLDAP's slapo-ppolicy and using shadowAccount attributes have nothing
to do with each other. So I suspect that things got confused in the above
mentioned bug report.

Ciao, Michael.

It's strange if I set

ldap_chpass_update_last_change  = true

You can change the password and shadowLastChange get's updated but you
don't get password expiry warnings or account lockouts.

If you set
ldap_pwd_policy = shadow
and ldap_chpass_update_last_change  = true

or
ldap_pwd_policy = shadow
ldap_chpass_update_last_change  = false

The user can't change their password but I don't get password expiry
warning and account lockouts.
