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 Matthew Mosesohn 2010-11-16 18:16:56 UTC
Description of problem:

It's great that the gnome-keyring Login keyring is set up with the same password as the user's password, but if you change your local password, the gnome-keyring Login keyring does not update its password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-keyring-2.28.2-6.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # useradd testuser
2. # passwd testuser
3. log in as testuser to a gnome session
4. enter a WEP key to make a keyring entry
5. $ passwd   (change to a new password)
6. Go to Applications -> Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys
7. Right click login keyring, choose Lock
8. Right click login keyring, choose Unlock

Actual results:
The keyring is only accessible with the former password

Expected results:
The keyring should be accessible with the newly changed password

I need to cancel this request.  I ended up changing pw as root, and that's how it broke.  I tried again changing as the user, and it works fine.

Sorry for the trouble

Yes, this is principal limitation, you first need to unlock existing keyring and change a password then.
