Hi Guys, I have implemented password policy on linux but Solaris clients are not giving any info/error message other than permision denied. For example, I have pwdInHostory 6, if i try to change password on linux and use old password I get straight away error message -bash-3.00$ passwdChanging password for user test.Enter login(LDAP) password: New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: LDAP password information update failed: Can't contact LDAP server Password is in history of old passwords But When I do same on Solaris I get following -bash-3.00$ passwd wbarreraEnter existing login password: New Password: Re-enter new Password: Permission denied But on server side debug I can see following send_ldap_result: err=19 matched="" text="Password is in history of old passwords" Why Solaris is not showing "Password is in history of old passwords" to user. Solaris is using its native client to connect openldap over TLS Any help would be appreciatedThanks,

Because, it appears the native Solaris LDAP pam_ldap module does not have password policy support:
