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 of problem:
While testing bug 738693, ran into bug 751173. A combination of the two or possibly just 751173, is showing up in UI.

In UI, there is no field to enter current password. Reset password, fails with error - 
'current_password' is required
if the min lifetime is 1 hour

But if min lifetime is set to 0, can reset password.




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.1.3-8.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a user
2. Edit user and set password
3. Reset password again
  
Actual results:
error thrown:
'current_password' is required

Expected results:
If current password is required, there is no field for it.

But if min lifetime is changed, can reset password

Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/2eb6414372581655ba04dff7539294c75f84a281
ipa-2-1: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/c6d19960d5efa1f896187d3239940abed3dbe9db

The bottom line of this bug is that password change in the UI wasn't working for the self-service case.

Backported patch from ipa-2-1 branch.

testing

I still see the same error as reported at the start of this bug. The error message is controlled by pw policy which in turn is controlled by python-ldap which doesn't support the password change extop. So better error handling will be addressed with cli issue - bug 751173.

 But in discussing this with Rob, it was decided that this bug will address the self-service case and add the current password field. Which is verified using ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64.
