I upgraded my ubuntu version to 24.04 and since then I am unable to change my password from the gnome settings page. Inputs are disabled and tells me to unlock to get access to this option. Never got issues with this before. I am not the administrator of the ldap server but could change my password without privileges (except for the initial setup to get in the realm).
Disclaimer: I am not very familiar with ldap but I am ready to try ideas.
Things I tried:
- ldapasswd but it asked for the admin password
- config ldap didn't work even after reboot
Edit 20/11/2024:
I noticed I had a service related to the authentication process that was failing "sssd_pac"
I found a documentation from redhat related to it.
Here are my logs:
