The internet draft has unfortunately expired (again), but there is a 
recent copy of it here - 
http://www.dfn-pca.de/bibliothek/standards/ietf/none/internet-drafts/draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-07.txt

You have to specify the control with the request so that the server will 
know the client is aware of the response control.

See section 5 and later for details about the control OID to send, what 
is available in the response, and the behavior for different operations.
