Applies to: All versions of Centrify DirectControl on RHEL and CentOS 5.4
Problem:When logged in as a AD user, screensaver cannot be unlocked even though the dialog appears to correctly take the password. Also hitting the "Cancel" button to cancel the gnome-screensaver results in authenticating the AD user with a null password, which eventually leads to locking of the AD user account in Active Directory.
Cause:The above described behavior is as a result of bugs in gnome-screensaver in RHEL and CentOS 5.4. For more detailed information, refer to the following bugs:
