Fixed In Version:	sssd-1.9.2-85.el6	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: The pam_pwd_expiration warning was errorneously set to 0 for the Kerberos provider, which means "always display password expiration warning if the server sends one". Consequence: For some environments, such as AD or IPA, this resulted in a password expiration warning on each login Fix: The default was fixed to be 7 days Result: the warning is only displayed if the password expires in 7 or fewer days	Story Points:	---

Description Jakub Hrozek 2013-02-14 18:17:53 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1808

The sssd.conf man page states that the default for pwd_expiration_warning should be 7 days for Kerberos, but it's not. It's actually 0, which means "always display warning if the server sends one". This is very irritating in environments such as IPA or AD.
