Hello,
Well, you might want to take a look at the recent thread "removing ppolicy overlay" (especially Frank Swasey's latest answer).
If you do not want to go through the hassle of editing your LDAP database to remove all ppolicy attributes, you may leave the password policy overlay enabled without any default policy set, which would be basically the same as having it disabled since no policy would be enforced.
For this to work, you will want to check if there is no "pwdPolicySubentry" attribute somewhere, that would explicitely enable a password policy on the object.
Have a nice day,

Dear All,
How can we disable password policy completely?
Thanks, Tayyab Saeed

What your ldap tree look like (the relevant parts, users, current ppolicy)? As far as links, there are soo many out there. Just search for one that fits your enviroment Here is how to add a ppolicy in the first place. https://wiki.polaire.nl/doku.php?id=centos7_openldap_ppolicy
How to add ppolicy to specific objects: http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/ppolicy.html#examples
As Matthieu already mentioned, assuming you already have a ppolicy, then you would need to create a less restrictive policy and apply to specific users using the pwdPolicySubentry attribute

The attribute pwdChangedTime is defined in sect. 5.3.2. of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-10 as: ... NO-USER-MODIFICATION USAGE directoryOperation ) Which means, that an LDAP client is not allowed to modify the values of this attribute, and that it is to be modified by the directory server only. And this makes perfectly sense, that the value is changed, if and only if the password is being changed.
