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 Kaushik Banerjee 2015-03-26 11:05:11 UTC

Description of problem:
I was not sure about how sssd should behave if an unsupported time format is used.

But it seems, sssd denies access if the time format is unsupported. Good to explicitly mention it in the manpage?

I wrote up a modified description. Does it make sense?
ppolicy: use account locking. If set, this option denies access in case that ldap attribute ´pwdAccountLockedTime´ has value of ´000001010000Z´ or represents any time in the past. The value of ´pwdAccountLockedTime´ attribute must end with ´Z´ as only UTC time zone is currently supported otherwise access is denied for any other time specifications.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sssd-1.12.4-18.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. I used a time in future:
pwdAccountLockedTime= 20160830003750+0000

2.
3.

Actual results:
User access is denied and sssd cannot parse this value and prints:
[is_account_locked] (0x0400): sss_utc_to_time_t failed with 1432158251:Time specification not supported

Expected results:

Comment 5 Kaushik Banerjee 2015-03-30 10:44:39 UTC

Verified in sssd-1.12.4-25.el6

The additional text in the manpage has:
Other time zones are not currently supported and will result in "access-denied" when users attempt to log in.
