We are still facing this particular problem and do not have any clue why
the initial password set by the external system does not work. Any
ideas/hints here?
Two ideas:
Are you supplying pre-hashed passwords in the correct format? 389-DS
expects hashed passwords in a specific format, e.g.
"{PBKDF2-SHA512}100000$base64data" for PKBDF2 with SHA-512 and 100,000
iterations.
IPA cannot create Kerberos keys from a pre-hashed passwords. Kerberos
does not work until the user's Kerberos key is generated from a plain
password, e.g. with a password change at
https://yourserver/ipa/migration/. SSSD can also detect the case and
generate Kerberos keys.
When you log into LDAP as "cn=Directory Manager", then you can read and
check the "userPassword" and "krbPrincipalKey" entries.
