Ahh, I see. Yes, that is different. Perhaps it's just confusing wording on
the part of Zytrax then...?

Anyways, thanks for the clarification.

the strange thing is that the official OpenLDAP documentation does not
include this override possibility.

http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapo-ppolicy&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenLDAP
+2.4-Release&format=html


pwdReset

       This attribute indicates whether the user's password has been reset
by
       the  administrator  and           thus must be changed upon first
use of this DN
       for authentication to the directory.  If pwdReset  is  set  to
"TRUE",
       then  the  password  was  reset           and the user must change
it upon first
       authentication.           If the attribute does not exist, or is set
to "FALSE",
       the user need not change their password due to administrative reset.


There is no difference between FALSE and non-existent.
So I am not sure if this is an official feature of OpenLDAP and why Zytrax
includes this?
