Description Jakub Hrozek 2016-07-29 12:17:27 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/3109

sssd used to inform about password change in offline mode
{{{
sh$ passwd puser1
Changing password for user puser1.
System is offline, password change not possible
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
}}}

The pam error code should be 9 and not 6

sssd.conf is minimal
{{{
    [sssd]
    services = nss, pam
    domains = LDAP

    [nss]

    [pam]

    [domain/LDAP]
    id_provider = ldap
    ldap_uri = ldaps://$SERVER
    ldap_search_base = $DS_BASE_DN
    ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/openldap/certs/cacert.asc
}}}

Redproducer:
* start sssd
* authenticate with test_user in online mode
* block access to LDAP 
* try to change password for user
  passwd test_user
