Not yet. We've been discussing about the password policy at last IETF 
and we need to collect information about the various implementations, 
see if we can reach consensus on common set of features.

Right now, pwdCheckQuality is an integer that tells whether quality of 
the password must be checked or not. What quality means and how it's 
configured is left to implementation.
Several persons have expressed the desire to have common definition for 
password quality. We have not reached consensus on this subject.

ldapsearch would have to have support for the password policy controls. 
Which ldapsearch tool did you use ?

Our implementation will reject any other operations on that connection.

Or you could use the Password Modify Extended operation.
