DSEE 6.3.1 password policy issue

811847Feb 16 2011 — edited Feb 17 2011
We're rolling out a network wide password policy on both our LDAP and AD environments. The two are synchronized using Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0. Today, in my test environment I enabled the password policies that we plan to implement. Since we never had any 5.x directory servers, I set the password policy mode to be Directory Server 6 mode. After configuring everything I tried changing a users password in the AD domain and ISW picked up the change however the following error showed up in the ISW audit log:
[16/Feb/2011:16:56:03.957 -0500] FINE    18  CNN100 beer-ds01  "LDAP operation on entry uid=tuser,ou=people,dc=beer,dc=com failed at ldaps://beer-ds01.lab.endeca.com:636, error(53): LDAP server is unwilling to perform ((Password Policy: modify policy entry) "objectClass=passwordPolicy" is not supported in pwdCompat:4 (DS6-mode).)." (Action ID=CNN101-12E30785AA8-1, SN=7)
When I then tried the same password change directly against the directory server using ldapmodify, I saw the same error:
# ldapmodify -D 'cn=directory manager' -w endeca123                      
dn: uid=tuser,ou=people,dc=beer,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userpassword
userpassword: !changem3!

modifying entry uid=tuser,ou=people,dc=beer,dc=com
ldap_modify: DSA is unwilling to perform
ldap_modify: additional info: (Password Policy: modify policy entry) "objectClass=passwordPolicy" is not supported in pwdCompat:4 (DS6-mode).
The password policy is:
version: 1
dn: cn=Password Policy,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: ldapsubentry
objectClass: pwdPolicy
objectClass: sunPwdPolicy
cn: Password Policy
pwdAttribute: userPassword
passwordStorageScheme: CRYPT
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: FALSE
passwordRootdnMayBypassModsChecks: off
pwdInHistory: 10
pwdMinAge: 86400
pwdCheckQuality: 2
pwdMinLength: 6
pwdMustChange: FALSE
pwdMaxAge: 15552000
pwdExpireWarning: 86400
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0
pwdKeepLastAuthTime: FALSE
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdMaxFailure: 5
pwdFailureCountInterval: 1800
pwdIsLockoutPrioritized: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 1800
I'm at a complete loss as to what causing this problem and am not sure what steps to take to figure out how to fix it. Can anyone offer some help?
