Resolution
Solutions:
1. Remove nmas.dll and nmasmsg.dll from the SYS:\PUBLIC\mgmt\ConsoleOne\1.2\bin directory.
Newer versions of these files are installed with by the patch above. The problem is that the NMAS client looks first to the server to load these files and finds the older versions (which don't work with the updated client). With the files removed from the server the newer client side files are used.
2. use iManager to change the Universal Password

Additional Information
Steps to duplicate:
1. Install Novell Client Post-4.91 SP2 Patch Kit "C" (download file name: 491psp2_pkc.exe)
2. Launch CosoleOne (tree with universal passwords enabled).
3. Go into properties of a user, select "login methods, NDS Password."
4. Change the password.
5. The eDirectory password will be changed, but the universal password will not be changed.
6. Back rev the client to version 4.91sp2 and repeat the above steps. The universal password will be changed.
This can be verified with a packet trace capturing the attempted password change. A trace captured with the pkC client installed will show no NMAS traffic at all. A trace captured with the 4.91sp2 client will show the workstation send an NMAS Login Store Management packet containing the Login Store Message: Set Password.
