Mark,

Thank you for the quick response!

I do have an aci set up and I can update passwords as uid=selectivesync389,ou=svc_accts,dc=domain,dc=org if I pass in a plain text password.

I don't believe we have a subtree/local policy but we did import this data from an ancient 389 install that we're upgrading from. Does this answer your question? We dabbled a bit in local policies a few years ago but finally just set policies globally in cn=config. That knowledge is old but my notes say this should return subtree/local policies:

morgan@woodrow-2 ~ % ldapsearch -LLL -H ldaps://tstds21.domain -D cn=directory\ manager -x -w pass '(objectclass=passwordpolicy)'
morgan@woodrow-2 ~ %

please correct me if my search is wrong.

thanks,

-morgan
