I was able to add the new policy but I'm having trouble applying it to an

This indicates that the ppolicy overlay is not loaded. So did the fact that you couldn't use "userPassword" earlier, which I noted then. Switching to the OID simply let you bypass the fact that the ppolicy overlay wasn't loaded. So now you have two errors that indicate that slapd has not loaded the ppolicy overlay. I would advise you, again, to figure out why ppolicy isn't loading. First by answering the question I asked you earlier -- Does the ppolicy.la file even exist in the modulepath you specified?
