Cannot Change Password for Active Directory Users

[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?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This problem still exists in Xenial. The password cann't be altered though the GUI as the passwordbox with dots stays greyed out.

Seems to work only on local accounts; http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-control-center-team/unity-control-center/trunk/view/head:/panels/user-accounts/um-user-panel.c#L684
