[Freeipa-devel] setting passwords stopped working

[Matt Bernstein]

Hi, not sure where better to send this so here goes..

I installed Fedora 9 FreeIPA (1.0) a couple of weeks ago, and yum has 
since upgraded it to 1.1. Things seem to be pretty good, except changing 
(or setting new) passwords has stopped working. I don't know if the 
upgrade was the cause of the error, but I thought I'd better mention it.

User's interaction:

$ kinit -V tim
Password for tim at TEST.EECS.QMUL.AC.UK:
Password expired.  You must change it now.
Enter new password:
Enter it again:
kinit(v5): Password change failed while getting initial credentials

>From syslog:

Jun 23 17:06:46 eagle kpasswd[1852]: ldap_parse_result(): [Password generation not implemented.#012]
Jun 23 17:06:46 eagle kpasswd[1852]: Password change failed

So.. is any of this helpful? It seems from syslog that the ipa_pwd_extop 
slapi plugin isn't receiving the new password, but I've no idea why.

Can anyone help? It's not SELinux or resource starvation, AFAICT.
