Hello,

I use both ppolicy and unique overlays.

I try to modify the password of an account whose pwdReset attribute is set to
TRUE. I get this LDAP error:

ldap_modify: Insufficient access (50)
        additional info: unique_search failed

In OpenLDAP logs, we can see:

connection restricted to password changing only
send_ldap_result: conn=20 op=2 p=3
send_ldap_result: err=50 matched="" text="Operations are restricted to
bind/unbind/abandon/StartTLS/modify password"
send_ldap_result: conn=20 op=2 p=3
send_ldap_result: err=50 matched="" text="unique_search failed"
send_ldap_response: msgid=3 tag=103 err=50


So it seems the unique overlay cannot do a search because the connection is
restricted by the ppolicy overlay.
