Hello

Thank you Jan!

I had the correct permissions for unix_chkpwd.

I replaced libpam-ldap by libpam-ldapd and now I can unlock the user
session successfully.

However I have some other issues I didn't have before using libpam-ldapd
like I'm unable to create a local user  (non ldap) or su command which
gives permission denied errors. All this is probably related to PAM
configuration.

Anyway, thanks a lot!

Vincent.

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.
