When using password policy, with pwdCheckQuality set to 1, ppolicy accept to
change the password of a user to special values such as {SASL} without
complaining.
However, trying to use {K5KEY} instead doesn't work, as it doesn't satisfy
quality checking:
ldap_modify: Constraint violation (19)
additional info: Password fails quality checking policy
This is not a bug; ppolicy quality checking only works when a plaintext
password is provided. The fact that you saw "{SASL}" work is probably just a
coincidence, i.e., --enable-spasswd is not set by default in configure, so
"{SASL}" is just treated as a plaintext string, not a password scheme.
