Hello Joaquin,

I moved the bug here to the appropriate component. Please comment on this bug rather than on the original one.

So it is not clear what is the sequence of operations. Can you please be more specific? You install an IPA server, added user, did kinit and got the error? If it is different please describe. Also can you please attach kerberos and IPA logs so that we can troubleshoot the issue.

Thank you,
Dmitri

Hi Dmitri,

Additional information: The error seems specific to the "admin" user!

Steps to reproduce:

- Installed latest IPA on Fedora 16 (see packages above)
- modified the expiration date for the "admin user":

change-admin-after.ldif:
------------------------
dn: uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=my,dc=domain
changetype: modify
replace: krbPasswordExpiration
krbPasswordExpiration: 20980119031407Z

# ldapmodify -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -W -v -f change-admin-after.ldif
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
Enter LDAP Password: 
replace krbPasswordExpiration:
        20980119031407Z
modifying entry "uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=my,dc=domain"
modify complete


- look at the /var/log/krb5kdc.log while doing "kinit admin" in another screen
[root@ipa02 ~]# kinit admin
Password for admin:
        ==>

        ==> after typing password:
kinit: ASN.1 failed call to system time library while getting initial credentials
      ==> the tail prints

- repeating the same steps fo a normal user does not reproduce the error:
[root@ipa02 ~]# kinit testuser
Password for testuser:
        ==>
Mar 02 13:47:00 ipa02.office.my.domain krb5kdc[7971](info): AS_REQ (4 etypes {18 17 16 23}) 10.183.26.12: NEEDED_PREAUTH: testuser for krbtgt/MY.DOMAIN, Additional pre-authentication required

- Repeat the change for admin with expiration time 20380119031408Z
[root@ipa02 ~]# kinit admin

        ==> after typing password:
Password expired.  You must change it now.
Enter new password:

Upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2496

MIT is updating its capabilities to handle 32 bit unsigned time value. This would add another 68 years.
We will pull it in when it is ready.

Also we have several RFEs to allow passwords that never expire. We will be working on this feature some time early next year.
