Adadmin Fails after schema password has been changed through AFPASSWD

We are facing with adadmin fails after changing the password using AFPASSWD. Below is the issue and fix for solving the issue.

Issue:

AD Administrator error:
DCPW null for "PJI" [1292]

AD Administrator error:

Failed getting PDI list for product 'pji'

AD Administrator error:

aipspv(): Error setting up PDI list for upgrade.

Cause:

Code issue in AFPASSWD resulting in errors using AD tools.

Fix:

1. The issue is fixed by Patch 13855823:R12.FND.B -10FF:12373900:12.1.3:12.1.3:QREP1220.2:FND.RLNK:RELINK FAILED FOR MODULE FNDCPASS. Download, review the readme and pre-requisites.

2. Ensure that you have taken a backup of your system before applying the recommended patch.

3. Apply any required pre-requisite patches and Patch 13855823:R12.FND.B in a Test environment. Verify files installed with this patch.

4. Retest the issue.

5. If the issue is resolved, please migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments

(Note :If you are not able to apply patch because adpatch itself fails, the workaround is to first reset the passwords using FNDCPASS. Then adpatch will work and the above patch can be applied.)
