A bit confused, I thought this was not possible without pull101 mentioned below 
? Or is this pull101 ?

You can also look at this PR: 
https://github.com/ltb-project/self-service-password/pull/134. If LDAP extended 
error allows you to know when the password history is involved, then you will 
be able to display a correct error to the user.

Will do
