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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-3.2.1-1.el7
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
The Identity Management server processes Kerberos Password Expiration Time field as a 32-bit integer. If Maximum Lifetime of a user password in Identity Management Password Policy is set to a value causing the resulting Kerberos Password Expiration Time timestamp to exceed 32 bits and to overflow, the passwords that are being changed are configured with an expiration time that lies in the past and are always rejected. To ensure that new user passwords are valid and can be changed properly, do not set password Maximum Lifetime in Identity Management Password Policy to values that would cause the Kerberos Password Expiration Time timestamp to exceed 32 bits; that is, passwords that would expire after 2038-01-19. At the moment, recommended values for the Maximum Lifetime field are numbers lower than 9000 days.

Description Jesse Triplett 2012-12-18 22:25:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
After password expiry is set to 99999 users are prompted to change their passwds.  After changing their passwords and logging in next time, they find that they are asked to change the password AGAIN and that the password is the same as before the last "password change" happened.

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

How reproducible:
Follow the steps in the video or these steps

Steps to Reproduce: (In the customer's words)
1) I create a user 
2) I check the user krbpasswordexpiration attr. and is set correctly to today's date
2) I log with this user name on one of the server 
3) After I enter the reset password 
4) System asks for the new password
5) I enter the new password and I reconfirm the password.
6) Got the message Authentication token manipulation error
7) I check the krbpasswordexpiration attr for this user and now is set to : 19011216191837Z
  
Actual results:
Users log in and are asked to reset their passwd (ie enter the current passwd, enter new passwd, confirm) On next login the customer is asked to reset passwd again except when they are asked to enter the current password it is really the password from before the first passwd reset.

Expected results:
ASked to reset password and the passwd gets reset with expiration = 9999 days

Additional info:
I am going to upload as much data as I can.
Comment 1 Jesse Triplett 2012-12-18 22:27:54 UTC 
Created attachment 665805 [details]
This is an sosreport from the IPA server

The customer at this point is just as willing to install a new box and make a replica to migrate the users to before decommisioning the current ipa server but I am not convinced that whatever configuration or buggy package that is causing this won't be carried over in the migration.
Comment 3 Dmitri Pal 2012-12-18 23:01:24 UTC 
Does it work if one sets the days to 9999 value?
I suspect something is too big and the time stamp rolls over.
Can you try with a smaller numbers?
9999 / 365 = 27 years might be sufficient enough for now.
Comment 4 Martin Kosek 2012-12-19 13:29:58 UTC 
I was finally able to reproduce the issue. The problem in my case was that I was not able to reproduce it when I had Max password lifetime set to 99999, as reported.

However, when I tried to set it to 9999, the reproduction suddenly started to work:

# ipa pwpolicy-mod --maxlife 9999

  Min lifetime (hours): 1

When I tried Dmitri's approach and set it to lower value, 5000 in my case, the password change worked:

# ipa pwpolicy-mod --maxlife 5000
  Group: global_policy
  Max lifetime (days): 5000

Jesse, would customer accept this workaround until we fix it?

I was also able to reproduce it in current upstream/RHEL release. I will prepare an upstream ticket.
Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2012-12-19 13:34:29 UTC 
Upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3312
Comment 20 Martin Kosek 2013-02-21 09:15:20 UTC 
This issue was fixed upstream:

master: 0e8a329048629f639ae64ff32e01e12a495e7763
ipa-3-1: 4d17b7217256996c51b579504f47b9d1ef037f04

ipa-kdb dricver now caps the password expiration date on the maximum date that is still processed correctly by Kerberos libraries: Jan 1, 2038.
Comment 23 Scott Poore 2014-01-29 22:01:12 UTC 
Verified.

Think this was already done in bug #891977 but, adding comment here for documentation.
