It's a separate LDAP extended operation working on a already existing entry
not a normal modify operation (see RFC 3062).
So if I add a user from C API, it should add blank in userPassowrd attribute and then I modify userPaswed, is that correct? Can I do, Add and modify in same modify request to guarantee the atomicity of operation? Would ldap still treat it as extended operation?

Yes.

See functions ldap_passwd/ldap_passwd_s in OpenLDAP's C API.
Could not find these function in man page or google search, can you please point me to a reference? Thanks for the help.

You already posted the relevant FAQ entry.
Watch out for password-hash in man-page slapd.conf.
Thanks for help and support, I really appreciate it.
Ciao, Michael.
