Resolution
Steps to duplicate:
1- Make sure LDAP authentication is turned on in the post office properties, Security tab.
2- Go into the Tools, Option, Security, Password of a GW External Entity.
3- Change the password and notice the error: D06B "LDAP password change failed.

2- Go into the Tools, Option, Security, Password of a GW External Entity.
3- Change the password and notice the error: D06B "LDAP password change failed.
4- Problem is that there is no way for users to change their password when they are defined as External Entities with LDAP authentication turned on.
Work-around would be to create NDS accounts for the non-NDS users. Also note that the passwords can be changed in ConsoleOne but not from the GroupWise client itself.
Work -around If user is still present in NDS dissassociate Groupwise Attribute & associate them back.
Additional Information
Cause: LDAP Authentication in GroupWise is designed to use NDS passwords. Since External Entities do not have and NDS account, this does not work.
