'man slapd-config' says the attributes are olcAuthzRegexp,
olcAuthzPolicy and olcPasswordHash.

I the manpage the two first are under GLOBAL CONFIGURATION OPTIONS, so
they should be in the cn=config entry.  olcPasswordHash is under GLOBAL
DATABASE OPTIONS which explains it can be in the frontend entry or the
actual database entry.

Avoid editing the cn=config files directly.  Use ldapmodify, slapadd or
slapmodify to add the directives, that way slapd will do some
verification.
