Description of problem: When sssd is configured with LDAP access provider and the LDAP server has password policies in place which put constraints on certain operations eg password quality checks sssd does not propagate related LDAP password policy errors (constraints violations) to end user tools such as 'passwd'. sssd error logs show actual password policy constraints as responses from LDAP backend eg (2022-01-21 16:19:43): [be[example.com]] [sdap_exop_modify_passwd_done] (0x1000): [RID#369] Password Policy Response: expire [-1] grace [-1] error [Password fails quality checks]. (2022-01-21 16:19:43): [be[example.com]] [sdap_exop_modify_passwd_done] (0x0080): [RID#369] ldap_extended_operation result: Constraint violation(19), Failed to update password but they are not propagated. Actual results: Password change failed. Server message: Failed to update password Expected results: Password change failed. Server message: Password fails quality checks
