This is because you have a mix of global and local policies.  Local policies override the global policy. In the local policy you did NOT set passwordMaxFailure, so it uses the default of 3.  If you don't need separate policies then just use the global policy for everything and remove he local policies. On a side note, if you are using dsconf on the same system as the directory server you can simplify the cli usage to use LDAPI, and it's much less to type: dsconf -W -D cn=manager ldaps://dsa101.mydomain.com:636 pwpolicy get This can become: # dsconf slapd-YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME pwpolicy get

This only works if you run dsconf on the DS machine, and you need to run it as root.  This works for all the CLI tools (dsidm, dsctl, and dsconf) HTH, Mark Once again, great information Mark. So essentially, I need to set passw​ordMaxFailure 5 in the local policy as well?
