Description Simon Pichugin 2016-07-28 11:52:15 UTC
Description of problem:
If we setup fine-grained policy for a subtree and for a user under it and set passwordChange attribute to 'on' for the user and 'off' for the subtree, we wouldn't be able to change password while binding as user.
But, by the feature logic (thanks to Noriko for the info), fine-grained pwdpolicy on the entry has a priority over fine-grained pwdpolicy on the subtree the entry belongs to.

Version-Release number of selected component:
389-ds-base-1.3.5.10-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Directory Server instance
2. Add a user to 'ou=people,dc=example,dc=com'
3. Set up password policy for the user and the subtree
4. Set passwordChange on the user pwdPolicy entry to 'on'
5. Set passwordChange on the subtree pwdPolicy entry to 'off'
5. Try to change userPassword binding as the user

Actual results:
UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM: {'info': 'user is not allowed to change password', 'desc': 'Server is unwilling to perform'}

Expected results:
User should be able to change a password

Additional info:
Looks like a regression, because TET CI test runs show no issue on the 389-ds-base-1.3.4.0 build
