#2050 ssh login reject is abrupt
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by sp4.

When a user is rejected due to invalid LDAP group membership, the disconnect is uninformative and abrupt. The same abrupt disconnect occurs when /etc/security/access.conf takes precedence.

In pam_sss with a valid SSH public key on the server, a user sees:

[test-user@test-client Desktop]$ ssh test-server[[BR]]
Connection closed by 192.168.1.22

Without a public key, the user is prompted for a password and upon successful authentication, sees the same "connection closed" message without any explanation for why.

This is on RHEL 6.4 with openssh-server-5.3p1-84.1.el6.x86_64 and sssd-client-1.9.2-82.7.el6_4.x86_64 with sssd-1.9.2-82.7.el6_4.x86_64.

The pam_ldap-185-11.el6.x86_64 using /etc/pam_ldap.conf gives too much information for a high-security site:
You must be a member of cn=GoodUsers,ou=x,... to login.
