Objet: ppolicy : managing passwords by another user than root

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to allow a user to change the passwords of users in a
specific subtree.

For exemple :
The user uid=admin-sales,o=Sales,dc=domain,dc=tld is allowed to change
the passwords of users in the following directory :
ou=Users,o=Sales,dc=domain,dc=tld.

I figured it out by playing with the acl's but when enabling password
policy the user uid=admin-sales can't change passwords anymore. The only
user alloweded is the admin (root user).

Is there a way to do so or is it impossible for another user than root
to manage passwords with ppolicy enabled?
