How can an admin user be allowed to import an LDIF file containing hashed passwords when a password policy is in place?

For automated password reset procedures, we need the possibility of importing LDIF files containing hashed passwords into Red Hat Directory Server. If a password policy is in place, only the cn=directory manager user is allowed to do this. Due to permission separation, we want to allow an admin user to be able to do this (whose access we can restrict to a particular LDAP subtree).
