I looked at the slapo-ppolicy man page. It's a shame ppolicy doesn't have something like the following from the chain overlay: chain-return-error {FALSE|true} In case referral chasing fails, the real error is returned instead of the orig‐ inal referral. In case multiple referral URIs are present, only the first error is returned. This behavior may not be always appropriate nor desirable, since failures in referral chasing might be better resolved by the client (e.g. when caused by distributed authentication issues).

I just have one question: is there any way to send back to the client the error message? I mean: # /usr/bin/ldappasswd -H ldaps://dev-ldap-01 -w "secret" -D "UID="dminuser,dc=hu" -s "abcdefghijkl" "uid=airween,ou=Users,dc=hu" Result: Constraint violation (19) There isn't any detailed information, what's the reason why the policy module drops the request, but I can see that in the logfile: Oct 10 20:05:21 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: check_password_quality: module error: (pwdCheckModule-poc.so) Passwords less than 16 characters require at least 3 traits (upper case, lower case, digits, or special characters).[1] Oct 10 20:05:21 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: send_ldap_result: conn=1742 op=1 p=3 Oct 10 20:05:21 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: send_ldap_result: err=19 matched="" text="Passwords less than 16 characters require at least 3 traits (upper case, lower case, digits, or special characters)" It would be very good to catch this message at client side. Is it possible? Note, that in PHP side I'm using: ldap_get_option($ldapconn, LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE, $_err); and $_err variable is empty. When I send the old password, which exists in history, I got: ldappasswd -H ldaps://... ... ... -s "oldpasswd" "uid=airween,..." Result: Constraint violation (19) Additional info: Password is not being changed from existing value in PHP: "Password is not being changed from existing value" In syslog I can see: Oct 10 20:09:36 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: send_ldap_result: err=19 matched="" text="Password is not being changed from existing value" Oct 10 20:09:36 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: send_ldap_extended: err=19 oid= len=0 Oct 10 20:09:36 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: send_ldap_response: msgid=2 tag=120 err=19 Oct 10 20:09:36 dev-ldap-01 slapd[16312]: conn=1743 op=1 RESULT oid= err=19 text=Password is not being changed from existing value Should I fill some member of Entry struct in 3rd argument in policy module? int check_password (char *pPasswd, char **ppErrStr, Entry *pEntry) ....................................................^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks, a.
