Hello!

Since a few days - more precisely since applying THIS guide we have the following problem:

failed to change server password for cn=someUCS,cn=dc,cn=computers,dc=DOMAIN,dc=local

Similar to: Server password change problem

I can’t get any further at this point, because I don’t know which permissions I should compare and which password change I can/should do manually - the system is operational and I don’t want to risk a failure due to failed logins.

Can someone help me with this, please?

Best regards,
TP

Server password change on DC master fails reproducible
#2

Hi, I can confirm this issue.

EDIT: The error message “Permission denied.” can be produced only in the script /usr/lib/univention-server/server_password_change.d/univention-samba4 or in the main script /usr/lib/univention-server/server_password_change itself.

Running “/usr/lib/univention-server/server_password_change.d/univention-samba4 prechange” should do nothing except of the eval statement. So I would guess the error occurs in the main script:

run-parts --verbose --arg prechange -- /usr/lib/univention-server/server_password_change.d >&3 2>&3
# If ANY of the scripts fails while doing "prechange", then rollback with "nochange".
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
        # Use run-parts without --exit-on-error; go through all scripts.
        run-parts --verbose --arg nochange -- /usr/lib/univention-server/server_password_change.d >&3 2>&3
        FAIL "run-parts failed during prechange, rolling back with nochange, server password unchanged"
fi

But I don’t see any reason why the run-parts should produce the error message “Permission denied.”

I think you can have a look here: https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51676

It has something to do with the ppolicy-setting in LDAP. I didn’t apply the patch and wait for an errata?!

Best,
Bernd

The fix in comment 22 works:

eval "$(ucr shell)"; echo -e "dn: cn=default,cn=ppolicy,cn=univention,$ldap_base\nchangetype: modify\nreplace: pwdAllowUserChange\npwdAllowUserChange: TRUE" \
    | ldapmodify -D "cn=admin,$ldap_base" -y /etc/ldap.secret

Error change Server-Password via Cron

Hello,

many thanks!

The "dn: cn=default,cn=ppolicy,cn=univention, part must be adapted to the respective domain (instead of “cn=univention”), or is it the same for all installations?

Best regards,
TP

It’s the same on all installations.

OK,
I’ve tried - let’s see if it helps!

You can run the script manually:

Output is good:

Maybe a Mod could mark the answer from @SirTux?
