[Bug 1419131] [NEW] Can't unlock screen saver with pam_mysql

 

Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04
unity:
  Installed: 7.2.4+14.04.20141217-0ubuntu1

We are using pam_mysql to login to the workstation.  Excerpt from
/etc/pam.d/lightdm.conf:

auth     required      pam_mysql.so verbose=1 user=xxxxx passwd=xxxxx
db=xxxx host=xxx table=operator usercolumn=username
passwdcolumn=password crypt=0 where=operator.enabled=1

There is a similar line in /etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver

Login to the workstation works fine.  Up until this week, unlocking the
screen saver worked fine also.  Now it is not working to unlock from the
screen saver.  I added the verbose=1 option and can see the logging when
user logs in, but no logging shows up when the user attempts to unlock
the screen saver, leading me to believe it is not calling pam_mysql.

I tried a similar config in /etc/pam.d/unity but that did not help.

This are the entries from /var/log/apt/history.log from the day it stopped working:
