The Password Policy Control allows a client to request information about the current password policy information for a user entry.

You can specify the Password Policy Control with ldapsearch in a number of ways:
* OID. Use the --control or -J option with the Password Policy Control OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.8.5.1 with no value.
* Named constant. Use the named constants, pwpolicy or passwordpolicy with the --control or -J option instead of the Password Policy Control OID. For example, use -J pwpolicy or -J passwordpolicy with ldapsearch.

Option. Use the --usePasswordPolicyControl option.
