Greetings,
I'm trying to set up a very simple LDAP server using OpenLDAP (via OLC) and it seems hopeless. The sticking point is ppolicy. I have followed several online guides (http://www.ryanfrantz.com/posts/openldap-implementing-the-password-policy-ov..., https://www.oostergo.net/node/85, to name a few), all of which seem to essentially detail the same procedure, and have met with no success. Whilst following those instructions, I receive no error messages. All commands complete successfully and do not indicate failures of any kind. Looking at the cn=config and target DITs, all data seems to have been imported as expected. Despite that fact, passwd follows a "mystery policy" which bears no resemblance to the policy that I have specified, and ldappasswd follows "no policy at all you can do whatever you want". Is there some way for me to empirically determine what these commands are doing, and why my policy does nothing? Thanks in advance...
cn=module{0},cn=config
objectClass: olcModuleList cn: module{0} olcModuleLoad: {0}ppolicy.la olcModuleLoad: {1}back_hdb olcModuleLoad: {2}ppolicy olcModulePath: /usr/lib/ldap
The module names are not correct. Hint: check /usr/lib/ldap for correct module names.

Okay, so what is the correct module name? It's listed as ppolicy in /usr/lib/ldap:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 25 10:09 ppolicy-2.4.so.2 -> ppolicy-2.4.so.2.8.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39328 May 25 10:09 ppolicy-2.4.so.2.8.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 954 May 25 10:08 ppolicy.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 25 10:09 ppolicy.so -> ppolicy-2.4.so.2.8.3
