RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bill Sanford 2014-07-09 19:11:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
In http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/220582 you can add user, modify the password but the first kinit of the user results in an error message "kinit: Password has expired while getting initial credentials"

The original install account with the original first added user work fine. Every other user does not behave like it should.

When you do a "kinit" the password changes.

[root@spiceipa ~]# kinit test
Password for test.ENG.BOS.REDHAT.COM: 
Password expired.  You must change it now.
Enter new password: 
Enter it again: 
kinit: Password has expired while getting initial credentials
[root@spiceipa ~]# kinit test
Password for test.ENG.BOS.REDHAT.COM: 
Password expired.  You must change it now.
Enter new password: 
Enter it again: 
kinit: Password has expired while getting initial credentials
[root@spiceipa ~]# 

It is in a constant loop of changing the password that was changed.

Comment 3 Martin Kosek 2014-07-21 14:55:46 UTC 
We need more data to assess. Could you please kindly:

1) Show your password policy

$ ipa pwpolicy-show

2) Show a FULL user entry BEFORE and AFTER the kinit with initial password change

$ ipa user-add test
$ ipa user-mod test --password

$ ipa user-show test --all --raw

$ kinit test
... I assume the fail will happen again

$ ipa user-show test --all --raw
Comment 4 Martin Kosek 2014-07-29 14:42:21 UTC 
Hello, any luck retrieving the data? Without them, we cannot continue with investigation.
Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2014-08-04 13:59:29 UTC 
I assume this is caused by a too high Max lifetime in pwpolicy-show (see Bug 891977). However, without additional asked in Comment 3, it cannot be proven. Closing the bug until the data is provided.
Comment 6 Bill Sanford 2014-08-18 19:48:35 UTC 
There was something in the install that exacerbated this bug. I will reopen if I see this again.
