Hello,
The password tied to my NedID was set to expire, so I updated it in the usual way. Ganymede recognized the change immediately, but several days later Europa is still using the old password. At this point I’m assuming it won’t update, meaning our Europa credentials aren’t (automatically) tied to the rest of the NetID system?
Hmm weird; Ganymede and Europa are set up the same way in terms of how password authentication works; you have an entry in /etc/passwd that give you access but authentication is still passed back to the campus Active Directory server. Both Ganymede and Europa are pointing to the same AD servers.
Can you try one more time and confirm it’s still your “old” password? Not sure how caching of credentials would be different between CentOS 7 and 8 but it might be.
@solj any thoughts?
I know that sssd caches. I’m not sure what the default cache lifetime is set to. I just manually invalidated the sssd cache. @prconlin can you try again and let us know if it’s still using your old credentials?
I can conform that Europa is still using my outdated credentials.
I have a suspicion regarding the cause: a while back I had a problem with file transfers between Europa and Ganymede. It turns out this was caused because of a modification I made to my .bashrc file that I have since removed. But @csim made a quick fix involving my user ID. You can find the details in this thread. Maybe that change has something to do with it?
That did it - Europa now accepts my new credentials.
