Perhaps this should then be changed to be a bug against another package
rather than unconfirming it. It affects more than one user. We don't
want to change our (simple) configurations to an out of date document,
we find that our LDAP setup works for logins but not lock screen, and
that there seems to be a precedent from the redhat bug.

Since this bug seems to not occur with sssd (comment #4) or libpam-ldap
(comment #8) then maybe the bug is with

libpam-ldapd.

Can Grzegorz Gutowski , Callum Dickinson, Alex Bachmeier, and Nick
Piggott confirm that the original problem for them was with libpam-
ldapd?

Title:
  Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
