#982 Improve password policy error message
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by sgallagh.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733409

Description of problem:
Password policy error message should print something better than "Internal Error".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.5.1-47.el6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a ldap user without any shadow attributes.
2. Set ldap_pwd_policy = shadow in sssd.conf
3. Try auth as the user.

Actual results:
Auth fails as expected. However, "Internal Error (System error)" appears in the log.

/var/log/sssd/sssd_LDAP.log shows:
