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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:2451 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE gdm bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 14:04:05 UTC

Description Ashish Shah 2016-01-23 09:02:14 UTC 
Description of problem:

Auto login of user with TimedLogin options of gdm does not work after upgrade from RHEL7.1 to RHEL7.2
Problem is observed when dconf key /org/gnome/login-screen/disable-user-list is set to true

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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
gdm-3.14.2-12.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Add below entries in /etc/gdm/custom.conf file for auto login of user.

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=USERNAME
TimedLoginDelay=10

2. Disable user list to configure banner message on gdm login screen.

# cat /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-custom-gdm-settings
[org/gnome/login-screen]
disable-user-list=true
[org/gnome/login-screen]
banner-message-enable=true
banner-message-text='Corporate banner message text'

# dconf update


Actual results:

Auto login of user configured with TimedLogin option does not work

Expected results:

User configured for TimedLogin should automatically get logged in to the session. After logout from the session same user should automatically get logged in after the time configured in TimedLoginDelay is elapsed.

Additional info:

This was working well in rhel7.1 with gdm-3.8.4-32.el7.x86_64
Problem is introduced in rhel7.2 after re-base to gdm-3.14
Re-enabling user list is a workaround which does work to get timed login working on rhel7.2 But banner message configuration is not possible with this.
