HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 deployment guide

NOTE:
The global and local password policies are mutually exclusive. That is, if a local password policy
is defined and enabled for a subtree or user, Directory Server applies that policy during the bind
process. In the absence of a local password policy, the server subjects the user to the global
password policy. The password policy design requires sending the password policy request
control with the bind request. The LDAP command-line option -g suppresses sending this
request control with the bind request.
For details about the -g option, check ldapsearch, ldapmodify, or ldapdelete utilities in
the Configuration, Command, and File Reference.
