I have tried using ppolicy, but it is not really doing anything. I can confirm that my policy is being used by flipping the "pwdSafeModify" attribute.
When set to true, users cannot change their password and they get a message saying that they need to send both the old and new password together.
Other than that, none of the other fields seem to have any effect.
Do you have a working example of ppolicy?
Are you sure your are not using the root account (rootdn) to change the password?
What version of OpenLDAP are you using?
