Sorry to awaken such an old thread, but in case anyone is still having problems with this, I was able to get it working perfectly in my environment. I was experiencing the original issue and I tried the MattPie/Emu solution from posts #20/21, but I was still receiving two password prompts for local users. I ended up taking their suggestions and coming up with this:
I did not have to change anything in /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver. Instead, I made the first two lines in /etc/pam.d/common-auth file read as follows: auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass Using this configuration, both local users and ldap users can log into the desktop AND unlock the screensaver by entering their password only once. I cannot speak to how well this works with an encrypted ldap setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64301 Title: Unable to unlock screen when using ldap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/64301/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
