Just to confirm, I have almost exactly the same set-up with LDAP user and an LDAP group of sysadmin etc. and everything else I have configured seems to work, however I always see in the authd.log the following: Oct 1 13:05:53 bamboo polkit-agent-helper-1[3656]: pam_unix(polkit-1:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1001 euid=1001 tty= ruser=russell rhost= user=russell Oct 1 13:05:53 bamboo polkit-agent-helper-1[3656]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "uid=russell,ou=people,dc=mps,dc=lan" (Invalid credentials)
this is despite knowing 100% that the credentials are infact valid (afterall, I log on with them just fine...) I will try out the patch when I get a chance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781737 Title: policykit cannot grant special priviledges from LDAP-identified administrators To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/781737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
