This seems to be fixed in later releases. Using lib{nss,pam}-ldapd and nslcd, with no custom configuration beyond "dpkg-reconfigure nslcd", I experience this bug in trusty, but not in utopic or vivid.
Also, in trusty I do not experience it when using alternative lockers such as gnome-screensaver or light-locker, only with the Unity lockscreen. Setting status back to Confirmed, and I'll try to isolate the change that fixed it. ** Changed in: unity Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314095 Title: Unity Lockscreen in 14.04 can't unlock when using LDAP account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1314095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
