Resolution
The client during a password change will make specific NMAS calls
to the server. If NMAS is out of date then the issue can
occur.
In 8.7.3.x NMAS\Security Services is a separate patch from the eDirectory patches. The customer was not aware of and had not patched the NMAS/Security Services products.
Apply Security Services 206 (SS206) to resolve issue
