Bind failed: 49: Invalid credentials - several times per second

[alesupper]

Hi

I am getting the following message in owncloud.log several times every second and it is hogging the server cpu:-

{"app":"user_ldap","message":"Bind failed: 49: Invalid credentials","level":3,"time":"2014-10-16T14:39:08+00:00"}

I am also getting the following messages in /var/log/apache2/ssl_access.log several times per second:-

client-ipaddress - username [16/Oct/2014:15:38:21 +0100] "GET /owncloud/status.php HTTP/1.1" 200 1172 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows) mirall/1.6.3"
client-ipaddress - username [16/Oct/2014:15:38:21 +0100] "PROPFIND /owncloud/remote.php/webdav/ HTTP/1.1" 401 1200 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows) mirall/1.6.3"

This probably coincides with users changing their AD password. I am guessing that the ownCloud client has the old password cached. However, if this behaviour is by design then it is not very good i.e. trying to connect several times/second. I suspect it is a bug though!

Server running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Server version 7.02
Client version 1.6.3 (Windows)

Any help would be appreciated.

@alesupper in general, login with a valid user and password (e.g. web interface) succeeds?

@dragotin or @danimo would not the client ask for a new password?

[alesupper]

@blizzz Yes user can login into web interface using AD credentials

This looks like this client bug (whether the account gets disabled or not is AD configuration specific), please follow up there: owncloud/client#2186
