When combined with pam_ldap, to login to a centralised server, the GUI
components of policykit fail, this means that the UI cannot shutdown,
cannot mount disks, install packages, etc (Xubuntu 14.04).

I can provide any further info, but I don't know what you require to
research this issue :).

pkexec from a terminal works fine.

Title:
  Ctrl+Alt+F7 bypasses the light-locker lock-screen under XFCE

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in System policy:
  Confirmed
Status in light-locker package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openldap package in Ubuntu:

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  HOW TO REPRODUCE:
  1. Create an user account with password.
  2. Login in the new account using the XFCE desktop environment.
  3. Lock the screen.
  4. Hit the Ctrl+Alt+F7 key combination.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
  - The user session to be unavailable due to no password being entered.

  REAL BEHAVIOUR:
  - The session is accessible without entering its password, due to the VT8 being bypassed to the original VT using the Ctrl+Alt+F7 key combination.
