I have FDS 1.1.1 running with password policy and syntax checking working for user passwords via the console, but I haven't been able to get ldappasswd (from mozldap-tools package) to pay attention to those password constraints that I know work via the console. That is, ldappasswd succeeds even when given passwords that fail in the console. Is this what I should expect to see?
No.

AFAICS from looking at source code, manual pages etc, ldappasswd passes the plaintext password to the server to be encrypted and if that's the case then I'm assuming that password checks should be working. I understand that password checks can't be done if the userPassword attribute is modified directly, e.g. by ldapmodify.

I get the feeling I'm missing something very basic, so any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have the same problem with Fedora DS 1.1.2? Are you sure the password is being sent unencrypted?
