Hello everyone.

I send you this mail because I encountered a strange problem trying to set a password for a user I just created.

First, I created the user with ipa user-add and for the following result :
Added user <myuser>

Then I added this user into a password policy group and it worked fine :
Then I set a One Time Password for this account and it worked.

Finally I tried to set a complex password fitting the password policy with the kpasswd command. And here, I encountered the following error message :
kpasswd: Client not found in Kerberos database getting initial ticket

My kpasswd command was like that :
printf "%s\n%s\n%s" '<one_time_password>' '<password>' '<password>' | kpasswd <myuser>

It works fine usually, this is the first time I see this error message.

I wanted to ask you if you knew what this error message mean ?
For me it is that the user does not exist, but I prefer ask you guys.

The strange things is that, after that, I tried to ipa user-unlock the account, and it worked o_O.

I'm running 2 IPA masters 3.0.0 on RHEL 6.6.

Best regards.

Lune.
