RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
