Hi

I am trying to make sure my bind Service Account's password does not expire.  I set this in ou=Policies with the intention that the policy would only be applied to this user:

# Policies, domain
dn: ou=Policies,domain
ou: Policies
objectClass: organizationalUnit

# CustomBindAccountPolicy, Policies, domain
dn: cn=CustomBindAccountPolicy,ou=Policies,domain
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
cn: passwordDefault
cn: CustomBindAccountPolicy
sn: passwordDefault
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdMinAge: 0
pwdMaxAge: 0
pwdLockout: FALSE

However, I do not see this dn referenced on the user:

# importantuser, Service Accounts, domain
dn: uid=importantuser,ou=Service Accounts,domain
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: extensibleObject
uid: binduser
cn: bind
sn: user
givenName: binduser
title: Account
loginShell: /dev/null
uidNumber: 123
gidNumber: 456
homeDirectory: /dev/null
description: Service Account
userPassword:: password123

When I try to add using ldapadd and this ldif:

dn: uid=importantuser,ou=Service Accounts,domain
changetype: modify
add: pwdPolicySubentry
pwdPolicySubentry: cn=CustomBindAccountPolicy,ou=Policies,dc=davinci,dc=med,dc=cornell,dc=edu

I get this error:

me@nsa[~/ldap]$ ladd server.ldif                                                                                                                                                                                          
Enter LDAP Password: 
modifying entry "uid=importantuser,ou=Service Accounts,domain"
ldap_modify: Type or value exists (20)
        additional info: modify/add: pwdPolicySubentry: value #0 already exists

Do you have any idea what could be happening?  My ACL's allow the binduser to see everything so I don't understand what's happening.

Thank you very much!
