I'm running 2.3.39 and using ppolicy to enforce our password

objectClass: top

objectClass: pwdPolicy

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

Thanks, that got me going.  I could swear I used "userPassword" in a previous version of OpenLDAP.

Perhaps the docs and LDIF file should mention that you need to use the OID rather than the name?
Both the man page for slapo-ppolicy and draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-xx.txt say "userPassword".

Thanks.
