Any help/insight would be appreciated. This functionality (returning requested password policy response message in conjunction with password change extop) needs support from two sides, pam_ldap and slapd. The functionality is missing from the current version of slapd, but should be available in the next version afaik. I am unsure of pam_ldap's support for password change extop or parsing password policy control response messages. Clearly, this is a piece of missing basic functionality, as a whole, that makes linux itself look incapable compared to windows. -- mike
