slapd.conf: unknown directive <objectClass:> inside backend database definition

I'm pretty new to openLDAP and I am trying to set up a password policy. I have the following in my slapd.conf:

include /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema
moduleload ppolicy.la

objectClass: top
objectClass: device
objectClass: pwdPolicy
cn: default
pwdAttribute: userPassword
pwdMaxAge: 5184000
pwdExpireWarning: 432000
pwdInHistory: 6
pwdCheckQuality: 1
pwdMinLength: 8
pwdMaxFailure: 5
pwdLockout: TRUE
pwdLockoutDuration: 1920
pwdGraceAuthNLimit: 0
pwdFailureCountInterval: 0
pwdMustChange: TRUE
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
pwdSafeModify: FALSE
pwdCheckModule: check_password.so
pwdCheckQuality: 2

the problem though is that when I restart slapd I get the following error: /etc/openldap/slapd.conf: line 86: unknown directive inside backend database definition.

can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

The basic problem here is that you are inventing syntax. LDIF commands don't belong in slapd.conf.
