I am not a programmer. I am just starting to learn Perl, but am not much beyond Hello World. Does anyone have an example that I could work from? I have some very rudimentary programming skills in a few languages but I have not found any examples online thus far that look like what I need.
This project is licensed under the OpenLDAP Public License (so it's hopefully compatible with your organization's philosophy if you're already using slapd) and might be a starting point:
http://open.calivia.com/projects/openldap
blog entry with config file details:

Another example is found in OpenLDAP ITS #6884.
I've used neither of these options and cannot vouch for (nor against) them in any way.
Thanks, Sara Kline

I saw this in the ppolicy pages but was unsure of how to use it? I understand that I can use pwdCheckModule and even how to turn it on, but I am uncertain as to how to actually tell it that we want to have for example, one upper case, one lower case and one numeral. Has anybody done that?
You write a checking module, and in that module, you do the strength tests that you require. As noted in the text from the man page.
