If a UNIX eDirectory server is configured to use SSL for LDAP communications, you might receive the following error when you select the option in iManager to set a Simple Password:
Unable to determine universal password status
To resolve this error, run the /usr/bin/nmasinst/nmasinst utility on the eDirectory server. This utility lets you install login methods into eDirectory from a UNIX machine and is required to run the Universal Password feature.
