Hi list,
Windows 7 Pro, joined to an NT-style domain hosted by Samba 4.5.16-Debian,
installed by Apt. A user had issues authenticating with FreeRADIUS on the
server, so I changed the password from terminal to a generic password, and
logged her in. I then asked her to change her password by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Delete -> Change Password. I typed in the generic password, and
told her to type in her new password, following our password rules, and
pressing Enter. She keeps getting "Username or password incorrect".
Below is my smb.conf file, as outputted by "testparm -s":
# Global parameters
[global]
bind interfaces only = Yes
interfaces = eth0 127.0.0.1
netbios name = SAMBA
server string = ""
workgroup = WORKGROUPNAME
domain master = Yes
preferred master = Yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/nobody -g 100 -s
/bin/false -M %u
domain logons = Yes
logon drive = h:
logon script = login.bat
allow insecure wide links = Yes
name resolve order = wins host bcast
server max protocol = NT1
unix extensions = No
check password script = /usr/local/sbin/complex_PW_check
pam password change = Yes
passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *updated*
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
security = USER
unix password sync = Yes
wins support = Yes
idmap config * : backend = tdb
printing = lprng
admin users = machine
(Yes, I know insecure wide links are vulnerable, but I was over-ruled)
Thoughts on why Windows 7 won't let the user change their own password? I
don't know when this issue started.
