$ dsconf get-server-prop pwd-compat-mode
The pwd-compat-mode property can have one of the following values:
DS5-compatible-mode If you install a Directory Server instance as part of a replicated
topology that includes a version 5 server, the compatibility state
should be set to DS5-compatible-mode. In this state both old and
new password policy attributes are recognized. Only version 5
password policy attributes are replicated, but both sets of attributes
are stored in the database.
If you upgrade an existing standalone server to Directory Server 6.0,
the compatibility state is set to DS5-compatible-mode. The server
generates the new equivalent password policy attributes.
If you upgrade an existing server as part of a replicated topology
that includes Directory Server 5 servers, the compatibility state
should also set to DS5-compatible-mode. The server accepts both
old and new password policy attributes. Both sets of attributes are
stored in the database. Only version 5 attributes can be replicated
(using fractional replication).
DS6-migration-mode As part of your migration, you can set the compatibility state to
DS6-migration-mode. In this mode, all servers in the topology are
version 6 servers, but there may be some existing Directory Server 5
password policy attributes in the database.
DS6-mode If you install a standalone Directory Server instance, set
compatibility mode to DS6-mode. In this case, only new password
policy attributes are recognized.
A server in DS6-mode can never be a supplier to or consumer of a
Directory Server 5 server. When all servers have been migrated to
version 6.0, DS6-mode should be the only compatibility mode.
The compatibility mode is set using the dsconf command as follows:
$ dsconf pwd-compat new-mode
The new-mode action takes one of the following values:
to-DS6-migration-mode Change to DS6-migration-mode from DS5-compatible-mode.
Once the change is made, only DS6-migration-mode and
DS6-mode are available.
to-DS6-mode Change to DS6-mode from DS6-migration-mode.
