[rhn-users] pam_ldap authentication against AD

Hi,

I am using RHEL3 configured to use pam_ldap and microsoft Active 
Directory LDAP as an authentication backend.

It seems that if no password has been set for the AD user, then the user 
can login using any string as a password except a blank password. I 
looked at the string stored in the AD ldap for msSFU30password, and the 
value is "ABCD!efgh12345$67890"

So the default behaviour for pam_ldap is to allow any password for these 
users, which is not good.

Can I change this behaviour?

Thanks,

Tom
