This is an update for the 0.9 branch of nss-pam-ldapd that includes a few improvements and bugfixes. This release should be considered stable.

  • check existence of TLS certificate and key files on start-up
  • fix password policy expiration handling when password was about to expire (thanks Mathieu Baeumler for tracking this down)
  • fix updating of shadowLastChange attribute when chasing referrals (thanks Vasilis Tsiligiannis)
  • add an pam_authc_ppolicy option to allows completely disabling ppolicy handling (thanks Mathieu Baeumler)
  • fix handling of nss_disable_enumeration (thanks Andrew W Elble for pointing this out)
  • display human readable password expiry messages (thanks Mathieu Baeumler)
  • fix error when changing PAM user name (thanks 依云)
