Account lockout using Openldap

What is the best way to implement account lockout in openldap? I have an openldap server with Ubuntu desktop client connecting to it for authentication. I want he accounts to locked out after say 5 failed authentication attempts

I have enabled ppolicy layout in slapd.conf.

Code:
overlay ppolicy
ppolicy_default “cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=in”
ppolicy_use_lockout

I have also imported a policy as given blow now. This is the output of ldapsearch

Code:
# policies, example.in
dn: ou=policies,dc=example,dc=in
ou: policies
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit

# default, policies, pramata.in
dn: cn=default,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=in
objectClass: top
objectClass: device
objectClass: pwdPolicy
cn: default
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdMaxAge: 7776002
pwdExpireWarning: 432000
pwdInHistory: 0
pwdCheckQuality: 1
pwdMinLength: 8
pwdMaxFailure: 5
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 900
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0
pwdFailureCountInterval: 0
pwdMustChange: TRUE
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: FALSE

In the client(Ubuntu Desktop) I added the following line /etc/ldap.conf

Code:
pam_lookup_policy yes

Still not working. Please advice me on what I did wrong in this.

NAME
auth_enumerate - Obtain list of accounts SYNOPSIS
#include <courierauth.h> auth_enumerate(int (*callback_func) (const char *, uid_t, gid_t, const char *, const char *, const char *, void *), void *callback_arg); DESCRIPTION
auth_enumerate enumerates all of the available accounts. auth_enumerate repeatedly calls callback_func, once for each account. callback_func receives the following arguments: o Account name. o Account's numeric userid. o Account's numeric groupid. o Account's home directory. o Account's mailbox (if defined, may be NULL, which indicates the default mailbox location). o Account's options string (if defined, may be NULL) o callback_arg, verbatim. After invoking callback_func for the last account, auth_enumerate invokes callback_func one more time with all parameters set to NULL or 0. If auth_enumerate encounters an error it will terminate without calling callback_func with all NULL or 0 parameters. This can be used to determine whether a partial list of accounts was received. Note Some back-end Courier authentication modules do not implement account enumeration, so this function may not be available in all configurations. SEE ALSO
