Hi Everyone, I need your help in this situation. I had open the authconfig-tui utility with sudo privileges on the ldap server to check its configuration. After I was done I closed the authconfig-tui tool with the OK button instead of CANCEL button, and now I am not able to login to the LDAP server with the LDAP id. Do you have any suggestions, what has changed here?

In reply to Aaron Kili. Even I am getting the same error.

ubuntu@osm-ldap-c:~$ su prabhu
Password:
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Enter login(LDAP) password:
su: Authentication information cannot be recovered

Note: I have replaced tecmint with prabhu. When I logged in with putty, directly entering the username, I get the following.

 
login as: prabhu
prabhu@172.21.248.55's password:
You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Last login: Wed Jul  1 08:52:05 2020 from 10.101.241.3
WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Enter login(LDAP) password:

After entering the correct password, the putty window will disappear Can you please help

Each time user logs in from the client system, it asks for password change and logouts immediately.

next login same thing repeats.
