I see these errors in my logs for some accounts on my consumers with chaining enabled.

- WARN - update_pw_encoding - Could not read password attribute on 'uid=someuser,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=lott'

This means the user does not have a userpassword attribute in its entry.  Can you confirm, on the consumer, if that entry has this attribute? 

Hi Mark.

Yes, the attribute and storage scheme is the same on all masters/consumers and hubs.

I only started to see this after enabling chaining of password policy attributes.

Are these spurious messages or something that needs to be addressed?

I came across this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1833266

upgrade-hash is set to "on" on all servers.

What is this code doing?

It's checking if you are using an outdated password storage scheme, and if it is then it re-encodes the password in a more secure algorithm.
