#3109 Wrong pam error code returned for password change in offline mode
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by lslebodn.

sssd used to inform about password change in offline mode

sh$ passwd puser1
Changing password for user puser1.
System is offline, password change not possible
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

The pam error code should be 9 and not 6

sssd.conf is minimal

    [sssd]
    services = nss, pam
    domains = LDAP

    [nss]

    [pam]

    [domain/LDAP]
    id_provider = ldap
    ldap_uri = ldaps://$SERVER
    ldap_search_base = $DS_BASE_DN
    ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.asc

Redproducer:

  • start sssd
  • authenticate with test_user in online mode
  • block access to LDAP
  • try to change password for user
    passwd test_user

Expected result:
