I followed the Linux trouble guide (http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#SolveLogonProblems)
--> [b]Every of those steps works fine[/b] but then [b]I stumble at[/b]: "Switch User to Check PAM"

When I su with my user I get always an error:

[code]
$> su w2010.domain.corp\\jogarem
Password:
su: Authentication error
[/code]

I have read that sometimes there are problems with the locale so I have tried it this way, too:

[code]$> LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 su w2010.domain.corp\\jogarem [/code]
and also:
[code]$> LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 LANG=de_DE.utf8 su w2010.domain.corp\\jogarem [/code]

Then I have tested another user:

[code]
$> su w2010.domain.corp\\jogi.test
$ <--- that means I'm logged in!
[/code]

It works. But only when I use the test user. I believe that this could be a problem caused by my password. We use very secure passwords in our company and that means my password contains special characters like [code]"§$%&/()=?!-_:,äöü[]{}^°'`´'#*+~\. and so on[/code]
I believe that this is the reason why it works with my test user (contains only one special character: "!" without the " chars) and not with my normal user account (contains the most of the above mentioned special characters - especially "§()/$ some of them twice!)

/var/log/syslog:
[code]
lsassd[2717]: 0x7f7f30499700:Failed to authenticate user (name = 'w2010.domain.corp\jogarem') -> error = 40067, symbol = LW_ERROR_STRING_CONV_FAILED, client pid = 21283
[/code]

/var/log/auth.log:
[code]su[21576]: [module:pam_lsass]pam_sm_authenticate error [login:ww2010.domain.corp\jogarem][error code:40067]
 su[21576]: pam_authenticate: Authentication failure
 su[21576]: FAILED su for w2010.domain.corp\jogarem by jogi
 su[21576]: - /dev/pts/2 jogi:w2010.domain.corp\jogarem
[/code]

I have tested also with likewise-open5 but it is the same there..

I'm happy for every feedback :)

I think I encountered the same issue previously. Any user that contained non US-ASCII characters in the Full Name in AD (not even the login name!) could not log in, while others could do.
The problem is that the likewise-ubuntu intergration does not pass the current locale setting to the likewise init scripts.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/likewise-open/+bug/598034

Actually my fix was a bit different, I just added:

LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8
export LANG

to the beginning of /usr/lib/likewise-open/init-base.sh and it solved the issue, but you could try the other solutions as mentioned in the another bug.
