Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by jhrozek.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1089250

Description of problem:
User with expired shadow policy is not prompted for password change when
shadowLastChange is 0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.11.2-65.el7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable any server side password policies.
2. Set ldap_pwd_policy = shadow in sssd.conf
[domain/LDAP]
debug_level = 0xFFF0
id_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://<ldapserver>
ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.asc
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
ldap_pwd_policy = shadow

3. Set shadowLastChange to 0 in the user ldap attribute.
# ldapsearch -x -LLL -h <ldapserver> -b "dc=example,dc=com" uid=shadowuser1
dn: uid=shadowuser1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
uid: shadowuser1
cn: shadowuser1
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
shadowLastChange: 0
shadowMin: 0
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 9901
gidNumber: 9901
homeDirectory: /home/shadowuser1

4. Auth as the user
# ssh -l shadowuser1 localhost
shadowuser1@localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
shadowuser1@localhost's password:


Actual results:
Password change prompt does not appear.
/var/log/sssd/sssd_LDAP.log shows:
(Fri Apr 18 06:35:22 2014) [sssd[be[LDAP]]]
[find_password_expiration_attributes] (0x4000): Found shadow password
expiration attributes.
..
(Fri Apr 18 06:35:22 2014) [sssd[be[LDAP]]] [check_pwexpire_shadow] (0x0100):
Last change day is not set, new password needed.
(Fri Apr 18 06:35:22 2014) [sssd[be[LDAP]]] [sdap_pam_auth_done] (0x0020):
check_pwexpire_shadow failed.


/var/log/secure shows:
Apr 18 06:35:22 beast sshd[18105]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): received for user
shadowuser1: 4 (System error)

Expected results:
Password change prompt should appear.

Additional info:
With server side password policies enabled, the following is seen:
# ssh -l shadowuser1 localhost
shadowuser1@localhost's password:
Your password has expired. You have 1 grace login(s) remaining.
[shadowuser1@ibm-z10-51 ~]$

Do not disable server password policies. Relying only on shadow is not secure and thus not a preferred method.
