[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1314095@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jan Groenewald (jan-aims):

My setup is:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS,
ldap accounts,
krb5 authentication,
Lightdm,
Unity session

ldap+krb5 is configured using nss-ldapd and nslcd. It works fine. getent passwd and getent shadow works fine.
I am able to login in console without any problems.
I was able to login in lightdm.
Then I used the lock screen.
I could not disable the lock screen using my password.
I rebooted my computer.

Now:
After logging in through lightdm, the unity lockscreen locks the screen immediately and I can not disable it using my password.

>From my short inspection of auth.log and unix_chkpwd sources it seems,
that unix_chkpwd works fine when called from lightdm and fails to get
user info when called from unity lockscreen.
