Ask yourself: How should password policy, e.g. correct password expiry,
be applied to multiple, independently set userPassword values? You could
of course hack your own slapo-ppolicy which does that with additional
meta data. Good luck.

But I strongly recommend to get rid of this flawed use-case now by
designing a more secure support process.
