APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When a non-root user calls passwdexpired() with an
    LDAP user as the argument, the error code is 22 which
    is EINVAL.  The correct error code is EACCES which is
    the error code returned when the argument is a local
    user.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When a non-root user makes a call to passwdexpired() for an
    LDAP user, it will get an incorrect error return code of
    EINVAL, instead of the correct error code of EACCES, which is
    returned when the call is made for a local user.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Modify the LDAP load module to return EACCES for this type
    of error.
