What ways have you tried?
When I created a new class based on 'inetorgperson' (e.g., 'inetorgpersonex') I 
couldn't create object of this class or change class of existing object (user 
account) by means of Fedora admin console.
The usual way to do this is to create a new attribute, then create a new AUXILIARY objectclass with your new attribute as an allowed (MAY), not required (MUST), attribute. Then you should be able to add your objectclass to any existing entry, then add your attribute.
I've tried to configure password policy too. But with enabled option 'user must 
change password after reset' and when administrator change user's password user 
succefully logins with new password and there are no exceptions or warnings 
that he must change it. My program is using Novell JLDAP library, just in case.
The directory server adds two response controls to the bind request - the first one is the LDAP password expired control OID "2.16.840.1.113730.3.4.4" - the second one is the newer password policy response control OID "1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1" with the valid "password change after reset". The second is only returned if the client uses the password policy request control OID "1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1" with the bind request. The use of one or both of these controls should give your client information about the password. I would assume the JLDAP API allows you to send and receive LDAPv3 controls, and may even have support for these particular controls.
Thank you in advance!

Hello!

How can I add custom attribute to 'inetorgperson' class? Preferably without 
inheritance.
You should never add custom attributes to standard objectclasses such as inetOrgPerson. You should always extend the schema through inheritance (or create a new operational attribute if you must).
The problem is that I want to have boolean attribute which I can check in my 
program and tell user that he must change password after admin reset. Something 
like 'pwdReset' attribute in OpenLDAP.
If you configure the password policy so that the user must change the password after a reset
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/User_Account_Management.html#User_Account_Management-Managing_the_Password_Policy

Will that do what you want? You can also check the operational attribute passwordExpirationTime
Thank you!
