passwd

Hello everybody,

I have PAM+LDAP SSL running on Debian Lenny, it works well. I always want to restrict who's able to connect, in the past I used pam_groupdn for that but I recently got a situation where I has to accept 2 different groups. So I used pam_filter like this :

pam_filter |(groupattribute=server)(groupattribute=restricted_server)

The problem is that with this statement, passwd doesn't work anymore with LDAP accounts.

Any idea why ?

Please find hereby some links to my config files :

Many thanks in advance :)
