pGINA 3.1.8 with LDAP - admin users get kicked out of local admin group after LDAP Password change or 30 days pass

sanmarz opened this issue · comments

I have used pGINA for almost 10 years on my small network. I used it on WinXP, Win7, and now on Win10 PCs which authenticate to LDAP on a RHEL Server.

When I have a new Win10 PC, i install and configure pGINA plug in to authenticate to my LDAP Server. It works fantastic except for two issues:

  1. admin users get kicked out of local admin group after LDAP Password change
  2. admin users get kicked out of local Win10 Admin Group after 30 days without logging into the Win10 PC.

When I build a new Win10 PC, I authenticate using my adm-xxx account, Then, I log out and log in with the local built-in admin account, and I add this adm-xxx account to the local administrators group in Win10. My first login creates my Windows account on the Win10 PC. It works great after that except the two issues above.

P.S. I still use v3.1.8 because I tried to go to 3.2.x(?) about five years ago, and it did not work for me. Also, no more updates were done to the new version. I might have done something wrong in configuring it, but I went back to v3.1.8 which works great except the two issues above. Are these two "issues" by design? Did I configure it incorrectly?
