'Change Password' greyed out on first run with deployed plist about adpassmon

[macmule]

which version?

[mattretzer]

2.20.10

[macmule]

Hey @mattretzer, @pmbuko is pushing 2.20.12 later.. can you try after that?

[mattretzer]

Yes, no problem. Thanks for the quick response.
Will update this issue with my results:)

[pmbuko]

2.20.12 is out now.

[mattretzer]

Hi @pmbuko & @macmule,
Unfortunately I am still seeing the same thing with 2.20.12- greyed out ChangePassword option on first run.

[pmbuko]

How are you deploying the defaults values? Also, could you please copy/paste what the Console log shows (filter or ADPassMon) after a first launch?

[mattretzer]

I am deploying those values via defaults write commands (basically
what you see above):
Creating a plist file via defaults write(s) to /tmp, copying the
/tmp/.plist to all user accounts (& user template) and correcting
permissions for the copied .plists.
Am I missing a value?

Here's what the log says:

Everything looks good to me. The Change Password menu item should only be greyed out when ADPassMon can't detect the domain. The log clearly shows "Domain reachable", though. Are these log entries from a launch that resulted in a greyed out menu item?

[mattretzer]

yes, they are fro a launch with a greyed out 'Change password' & 'Refresh
Kerberos'; tested on 10.10 & 10.11, same results.

And once I 'Re-check Expiration' it comes in fine, subsequent launches are
fine too.

I think when I was trying different plist settings I had some where this
was not the case. I'll play with it a little more to see if I can help pin
it down.

One more thing to check. Before launching for the first time, but after applying defaults, as the user, run defaults read org.pmbuko.ADPassMon. Save the output, then launch ADPassMon and do Re-check Expirtation. Run the defaults read command again and compare the output.

[macmule]

@mattretzer have you tried setting things via a profile? Also, I guess ADPassMon is being launched whilst these changes are being made?

[macmule]

@mattretzer any updates?

[macmule]

@mattretzer the writing out plist & copying will not work with CFPrefsd, so either a profile or a defaults read on the plist afterwards (as @pmbuko) mentions should resolve.

I'm putting this down as "wontfix" for now, as it's more of an OS/deployment issue, please can you advise if anything we've mentioned has worked?

We'll then close the issue off, or I'll close it sometime in March.

I'm seeing the exact same issue on a completely fresh install. As a test, the app is not running, there are no existing prefs in the current user Library and I run this script

#!/bin/bash

adpassmonprefs="/Library/Preferences/org.pmbuko.ADPassMon"

defaults write "${adpassmonprefs}" "expireAge" -int 180
defaults write "${adpassmonprefs}" "isBehaviour2Enabled" -int 1
defaults write "${adpassmonprefs}" "selectedBehaviour" -int 2
defaults write "${adpassmonprefs}" "selectedMethod" -int 1
defaults write "${adpassmonprefs}" "warningDays" -int 7

If I then open the app, the Change Password menu item is grayed out until I do a Refresh

This is using 2.20.20

[macmule]

I'll see if i can replicate this, & try to fix in 2.21.0

[macmule]

Please test: https://github.com/macmule/ADPassMon/releases/tag/154

[macmule]

Please test: https://github.com/macmule/ADPassMon/releases/tag/155

Closing off as sorted in 2.21.0
