Description Emelie cendio 2024-10-29 17:46:55 CET
On Ubuntu 24.10, when a user's password is set to expired, the password-change sequence in the native client fails:

> Login Banner
> 
> You are required to change your password immediately (administrator enforced).

> Connection Error
> 
> ThinLinc login failed.
> (The SSH connection succeeded, but the ThinLinc server connection failed.
> Perhaps this server doesn't run a ThinLinc server?)

It works on Fedora, as such the expected sequence is:

> Authentication
> 
> You are required to change your password immediately (administrator enforced).
> Current password:
> <PROMPT>

> Authentication
> 
> New password:
> <PROMPT>

> Authentication
> 
> Retype password:
> <PROMPT>

It also works with Web Access.

Nevermind, the issue was that "KbdInteractiveAuthentication" wasn't set to "yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. With it set properly, it works fine on Ubuntu 24.10.
