For a stock openldap install, any attribute that is hard coded in ppolicy.c 
is available once the module is loaded.  Whether or not one also requires 
the ppolicy.[schema|ldif] file depends entirely on whether or not they also 
need access to those attributes defined within them.  If all you need are 
the hard-coded attributes, then you can skip loading the additional schema 
file.
