Cannot Change Password for Active Directory Users

Asked by ReverendJ1

It seems that Active Directory users cannot change their password from the User Accounts module in the control center. When you look at their account, the 5 dots next to Password are greyed out, and you cannot click on them. For local users, the dots are black and you can change the password normally by clicking them. From a terminal, using passwd does work fine for Active Directory users. I am using Ubuntu 14.04, and sssd (1.11.5-1ubuntu3) Is this a bug, or is there maybe some sort of config that hides this option for remotely authenticated users?
