Public bug reported: The priority of the libpam-sss pam-auth-update config file needs to be lower than for pam_unix, so that local users always work, despite the state of the sssd daemon. This causes a problem with the password stack, where pam_sss needs to be above pam_unix, so that if pam_cracklib is installed password changes still work. Otherwise it would be broken in one of the cases, depending on if use_authtok is set or not.
The fix for this is to split the password stack from pam_sss config separate from the rest, and use a higher priority there. This is fixed in raring, needs an SRU to precise and quantal. ** Affects: sssd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: sssd (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Medium Status: In Progress ** Affects: sssd (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Medium Status: In Progress ** Description changed: The priority of the libpam-sss pam-auth-update config file needs to be lower than for pam_unix, so that local users always work, despite the state of the sssd daemon.
