There is a stale link in this section of the admin guide:
https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/overlays.html#Password%20Policy%20Configuration

Points to https://symas.com/blog/?page_id=66 which says "No Results Found"

In general the admin guide should IMO not point to volatile external resources.

Agreed.

The material there is on the web archive 
https://web.archive.org/web/20110613062549/https://symas.com/blog/?page_id=66

but we should probably copy it over to a more accessible location.
