Password Policy Control

The Password Policy control lets applications that manage accounts receive extra information on operation responses. The information returned through this control includes account status (password expiring or expired, account locked) and reasons for password change failure (password too short, and so on).

This control is specified in an Internet Draft on the IETF home page. The specification of its operation can change over time. Also, the name of the draft document changes as revisions are made. At the time of writing, the document name is draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-08.txt.
