Symptoms
When a user that had a expired password would ssh to the Solaris 10 system they would not be warned about the expired password or prompted to change it. For example:
ssh -l user hostname
user@hostname's password:
Permission denied (keyboard-interactive).
user@hostname's password:
Permission denied (keyboard-interactive).
It fails with a permission denied and no expiration message provided.
The expectation was the following:
ssh -l user hostname
Password:
Warning: Your password has expired, please change it now.
New Password:
Re-enter new Password:
sshd-kbdint: password successfully changed for user
Password:
Warning: Your password has expired, please change it now.
New Password:
Re-enter new Password:
sshd-kbdint: password successfully changed for user
Changes
In attempting to correct another ssh issue the customer had modified this option in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file from:
PAMAuthenticationViaKBDInt Yes
To:
PAMAuthenticationViaKBDInt No
