Are you sure that your bind dn has read access userPassword? A default OpenLDAP installation usually has a admin user.
Gosa ACLs are only applied when using the web interface, they are not used for direct access via LDAP.

That's not a deal breaker per se, but i'd need to spin up a new copy of the old ldap and then add those attributes to every user, then migrate to ipa from that source, which is a real pain.
