pwdPolicySubentry is an operational attribute. It will not be returned in search results unless you explicitly request it or use + in your requested attribute list.
If you change the add to a replace in your ldif file your modify operation should succeed.

________________________________ 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!
