Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Known Issue
Doc Text:	The OpenLDAP server and the 389 Directory Server (389 DS) treat grace logins differently. 389 DS treats them as the number of grace logins left, while OpenLDAP treats them as the number of grace logins used. Currently, SSSD only handles the semantics used by 389 DS. As a result, when using OpenLDAP, the grace password warning can be incorrect.	Story Points:	---

Description Kaushik Banerjee 2013-10-30 10:55:32 UTC

Description of problem:
Improve grace login warning against OpenLDAP server

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.9.2-129

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On openldap server, set pwdGraceAuthNLimit to 2

2. Try to auth from another sssd client

1st Attempt:
# ssh -l tuuser localhost
tuuser@localhost's password:
Your password has expired. You have 2 grace login(s) remaining.
Last login: Thu Oct 10 14:53:33 2013 from localhost
-bash-4.1$ logout

2nd Attempt:
# ssh -l tuuser localhost
tuuser@localhost's password:
Your password has expired. You have 1 grace login(s) remaining.
Last login: Thu Oct 10 15:01:01 2013 from localhost
-bash-4.1$ logout

3rd Attempt:
# ssh -l tuuser localhost
tuuser@localhost's password:
Password expired. Change your password now. <== Should have shown 0 grace login 
Last login: Thu Oct 10 15:01:16 2013 from localhost
WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Changing password for user tuuser.
Current Password:


Actual results:
3rd attempt shows password expired.

Expected results:
3rd attempt against 389-ds server shows 0 grace login remains. There should be consistency against openldap server too.
