There are two ways password policy can be applied to individual objects:
-1. Default password policy - If, as in the example above, the password policy
-module was configured with the DN of a default policy object and if that object
-exists, then the policy defined in that object is applied.
-
-2. The pwdPolicySubentry in a user's object - If a user's object contains a
-value for the pwdPolicySubEntry attribute, and if that object exists, then
-the policy defined by that object is applied. Remember that we need to add
-object class pwdPolicy to the user's object as well.
+1. The pwdPolicySubentry in a user's object - If a user's object has a
+pwdPolicySubEntry attribute specifying the DN of a policy object, then
+the policy defined by that object is applied.
+
+2. Default password policy - If there is no specific pwdPolicySubentry set
+for an object, and the password policy module was configured with the DN of a
+default policy object and if that object exists, then the policy defined in
+that object is applied.
