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 Nathan 2012-09-21 17:34:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
If IPA's password policy is set, and a password expires for an account.  If the password policy is changed such that the expired password would not have expired, the user is unable to change their password, and the account is unusable. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64
ipa-client-2.2.0-16.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Easily reproducible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set password policy to expire passwords after 10 days,
2. Wait for a user to expire
3. kinit as another admin user after one user has expired, and change the pwpolicy to expire after 9999 days
4. attempt to kinit to an expired user
5. ipa will tell you that the password has expired, and it wont let you reset your password.

Error reported:
[root@ipaserver ~]# kinit admin
Password for admin.DOMAIN
Password expired.  You must change it now.
Enter new password: 
Enter it again: 
kinit: Password has expired while getting initial credentials

Change the expiration back to 10 days, and users will be able to reset their passwords.
  
Actual results:
Unable to reset passwords which expired before the policy was extended.

Expected results:
Users should be able to reset their expired passwords regardless of what the expiration policy is.

IPA Kerberos LDAP driver now caps krbPasswordExpiration time on 2038-01-01, i.e. a highest representable time in Kerberos. This fixes password change issues when password policy was set to a value setting expiration date after 2038-01-01.
