Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6): Bug 1024744

Description of problem:
Improve grace login warning against OpenLDAP server

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.9.2-129

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On openldap server, set pwdGraceAuthNLimit to 2

2. Try to auth from another sssd client

1st Attempt:
# ssh -l tuuser localhost
tuuser@localhost's password:
Your password has expired. You have 2 grace login(s) remaining.
Last login: Thu Oct 10 14:53:33 2013 from localhost
-bash-4.1$ logout

2nd Attempt:
# ssh -l tuuser localhost
tuuser@localhost's password:
Your password has expired. You have 1 grace login(s) remaining.
Last login: Thu Oct 10 15:01:01 2013 from localhost
-bash-4.1$ logout

3rd Attempt:
# ssh -l tuuser localhost
tuuser@localhost's password:
Password expired. Change your password now. <== Should have shown 0 grace login
Last login: Thu Oct 10 15:01:16 2013 from localhost
WARNING: Your password has expired.

Changing password for user tuuser.

Mass-moving tickets not planned for any immediate release and re-setting priority.

The OpenLDAP server and the 389 Directory Server (389 DS) treat grace logins differently. 389 DS treats them as the number of grace logins left, while OpenLDAP treats them as the number of grace logins used. Currently, SSSD only handles the semantics used by 389 DS. As a result, when using OpenLDAP, the grace password warning can be incorrect.

Thank you for taking time to submit this request for SSSD. Unfortunately this issue was not given priority and the team lacks the capacity to work on it at this time.

Given that we are unable to fulfill this request I am closing the issue as wontfix.

If the issue still persist on recent SSSD you can request re-consideration of this decision by reopening this issue. Please provide additional technical details about its importance to you.

Thank you for understanding.
