I have removed use_authtok from the sss file but there must be something wrong because I can't still change the password. I have followed the instructions here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_SSSD_problems to enable sssd_pam debug and it seems to be doing the same thing: (Tue May 15 10:31:07 2012) [sssd[pam]] [accept_fd_handler] (0x0100): Client connected!

perhaps some other option must be changed in another place. installing libpam-cracklib didn't solve the problem also the gdm integration problem was that when I tried to login to the system de display manager didn't let me choose other user apart from the local users of the system. this seems to be an ubuntu design decision which can be changed following the steps indicated here: http://www.tejasbarot.com/2012/04/30/howto-other-login-option-on-login-screen-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin/ it would be nice that when joining a domain this would be automatically changed because it's a bit obscure to find and if not done only lets the system to be used in terminal mode the solution of using networked homedirectories it's ok for me although it would be good to have it solved -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997990 Title: fail joining to a freeipa server with ipa-client-install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/freeipa/+bug/997990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
