Re: ppolicy: invalid value for attributeType pwAttribute -- for "userPassword"

I'm running 2.3.39 and using ppolicy to enforce our password policy. Got an LDIF file:

dn: cn=npg2810,ou=policies,dc=nasascience,dc=nasa,dc=gov cn: npg2810 objectClass: top objectClass: pwdPolicy objectClass: organizationalRole objectClass: pwdPolicyChecker description: OpenLDAP ppolicy to implement NPG2810-like restrictions pwdAttribute: userPassword

pwdAttribute value should contain the OID of attribute type userpassword, which is 2.5.4.35

Well, it works (now, it didn't the first time) with userPassword on my (production) rigs, too. Both should work, but if I (now) put the OID value into the ldif, it magically gets transformed into the string userPassword.

Best,
