[jira] [Commented] (SSHD-196) Allow passwords to be changed when the server is forcing a password change

["Goldstein Lyor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-196?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14738156#comment-14738156 ] 

Goldstein Lyor commented on SSHD-196:
-------------------------------------

According to RFC4252 section 8, the value of the boolean following the "password" method is *always* FALSE. The way to request a password change is for the server to send a SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_PASSWD_CHANGEREQ message. Therefore, the changes described in the patch seem wrong.

> For security purposes, passwords often expire after a fixed amount of time.
> This patch allows the user to change their password when forced by the server.
> Obviously, it should be reviewed because it makes key changes to the ServerSession.userAuth method.
