"Net::LDAP::Control::PasswordPolicy" provides an interface for the creation and manipulation of objects that represent "PasswordPolicyRequest"s and "PasswordPolicyResponse"s as described by draft-behera-password-policy-09.

This control can be passed to most operations, including the bind.

There are no constructor arguments other than those provided by Net::LDAP::Control.

If defined, this is an integer value holding the time left in seconds before the account's password will expire.
If defined, this is an integer value holding the number of authentication requests allowed before the account is locked.
If defined, this contains a more detailed error code for the account. See Net::LDAP::Constant for definitions of each. Values can include:

Net::LDAP, Net::LDAP::Control, Net::LDAP::Constant, draft-behera-ldap-password-policy-09.txt
