I have had a very similar setup for some time now and have never observed this kind of behaviour from the ppolicy overlay. I am quite confident it should work correctly in the situation you describe.
There might be a valid reason for pwdAccountLockedtime and pwdFailureTime attributes disappearing like perhaps expiry of pwdLockoutDuration. Please see the account_locked() function in servers/slapd/overlay/ppolicy.c for this.
It is of course also quite possible that you have hit a special corner case that nobody else has yet found.
The best thing you could do would be to setup a small self contained test case to illustrate the problem.
Greetings

Thank you, Howard!
You are right. We are not getting LBER_OVERFLOW, but having the return
code LBER_DEFAULT and "errno == ERANGE". Also, indeed there is no
particular size limits in openldap lber library unless setting the max
incoming ber size with this API:
ber_sockbuf_ctrl(sockbuf, LBER_SB_OPT_SET_MAX_INCOMING, &maxsize);
We'd like to avoid receiving, e.g., 100MB ber's, but we'd like to also have
a method to log the rejected incoming ber size just in case the
administrator may want to allow to receive it.
Best regards,

That doesn't sound like OpenLDAP, we have no LBER_OVERFLOW error code. Nor do
we have any particular size limits on a BerElement, other than fitting into a
long.

We use the OpenLdap library in our software. LDAP clients could send too large
ber and cause LBER_OVERFLOW (or LBER_DEFAULT) to the lber APIs. We'd like to
learn how large the ber size we should prepare from the error. When we look
into the BerElement ber using gdb, ber->ber_len stores the value. But the value
is not returned to the caller when the API fails, e.g., by the overflow. Could
it be possible to have a way to retrieve the ber size under any condition?
