Migrating to the New Password Policy

For migration purposes, the new password policy maintains compatibility with previous Directory Server versions by identifying a compatibility mode. The compatibility mode determines whether password policy attributes are handled as old attributes or new attributes, where old refers to any Directory Server 5.2 or 5.2.x password policy attributes.

See Password Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade and Migration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition for details on migrating to the new password policy.
