passwordLockoutDuration (Lockout Duration)
Indicates the amount of time in seconds during which users will be locked out of

password. You enable and disable the account lockout feature using the
passwordLockout attribute.
For more information on password policies, see chapter 7, “User Account
Management,” in the Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s Guide.
passwordMaxAge (Password Maximum Age)
Indicates the number of seconds after which user passwords will expire. To use

passwordMaxFailure (Maximum Password Failures)
Indicates the number of failed bind attempts after which a user will be locked out
