Question:

On the adjoined server AD user is able to change their password and sync it back to AD.
Is it possible to disable this function and not affect other services? 

Answer:

This can be achieved by using following parameter in /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf. 

pam.allow.password.change: false

* Remember to run command 'adreload' to make above change effective. 

With above parameter configured, both adpasswd and passwd will be blocked.

[administrator@rhel63 ~]$ adinfo -c | grep -i pam.allow.password.change
pam.allow.password.change: false 

[administrator@rhel63 ~]$ adpasswd
Password change not permitted  

[administrator@rhel63 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user administrator.
Password change not permitted
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
