Oracle Linux 6.6
I am logged in as soausr user. When the soausr user tries to change the password by himself, it gets the following error.
Tried entering simple and complex passwords. Didn't work
[soausr@hewapp214 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user soausr.
Changing password for soausr.
(current) UNIX password:
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[soausr@hewapp214 ~]$
It only works, when I try as root
[root@hewapp214 ~]# passwd soausr
Changing password for user soausr.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@hewapp214 ~]#
Any idea why I am getting this issue and the fix for it?
