We have opnldap setup on our ubuntu server, and were getting this message for a user:



 auth: pam_unix(dovecot:account): account has expired (account expired)
Sep 3 19:05:03 auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=XXXX rhost=::1 user=XXXX


I changed the password with ldappasswd successfully, but still the error persists. Doing some research it seems that shadowLastChange is not getting updated.



How can we resolve this?



/usr/share/slapd/slapd.conf



access to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange
by dn="@ADMIN@" write
by anonymous auth
by self write
by * none
access to dn.base="" by * read

# The admin dn has full write access, everyone else
# can read everything.
access to *
by dn="@ADMIN@" write
by * read


OK - this seems to be a PAM issue.



If I edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to :



shadow: compat


I don't get the message that the account is expired.



If I change it to:



shadow: files ldap


I do. But in either case, I still get the dovecot error.

Never really answered my own question before, but I wanted to share in case anyone else ever comes across this. It had to do with saslauthd not installed, configured, and running. Once I did that, error went away.
