Hi List,
We are testing a new  passwd syntax policy  in ldap  we have only cfg password 
length to 8 char and according to this RH Doc   bellow there are some 
exceptions(  aka "trivial words"  and uid, cn, givenName which can not be used 
)  when  a user tries to update his passwd , for example if the new passwd 
contains more than  3 char from his uid  the ldapasswd cmd will fail .
Exemple :
Uid=6712
 For new  Passwd :cheese671cheese  >> will fail
But for passwd: cheese67cheese will work .
I need to understand if we need other  passwd attributes to cfg or why this 
char min limitation and how to solve this issue?
Our uid can be from 4 char lenhgt to 14 char length.

Here is in ldap ldif:
nsslapd-pwpolicy-inherit-global: on
nsslapd-pwpolicy-local: off
passwordTrackUpdateTime: on
passwordCheckSyntax: on
passwordminlenghth: 8
passwordMinCategories: 1

And  RH DS doc :
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/deployment_guide/designing_a_secure_directory-designing_a_password_policy#Password_Policy_Attributes-Password_Syntax_Checking
9.6.2.7. Password Syntax Checking
Password syntax checking enforces rules for password strings, so that any 
password has to meet or exceed certain criteria. All password syntax checking 
can be applied globally, per subtree, or per user. Password syntax checking is 
set in the passwordCheckSyntax attribute.
The default password syntax requires a minimum password length of eight 
characters and that no trivial words are used in the password. A trivial word 
is any value stored in the uid, cn, sn, givenName, ou, or mailattributes of the 
user's entry.

Thank you
Isabella
