shadow ldap attributes for a user has no effect if password policy
is enabled on the server(openldap).

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 7 Kaushik Banerjee 2014-07-07 01:45:02 EDT

Verified with sssd-1.11.6-1.el6

man sssd-ldap has the following note:

 Note: if a password policy is configured on server side, it always takes precedence over policy set with this option.
