I viewed the settings in dse.ldif, is that also base64 encoded?

Changing the password on the client appears as follows:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
LDAP password information update failed: Operations error
I have enabled the following log levels in isolation on both the supplier and the consumer server which is chaining to the supplier.
I performed the password change request on the client seperately for each log level. The client connects to the consumer which chains back
to the supplier server.
Log Levels Enabled:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Acces Control Summary
Plug-ins
Heavy Trace Output
Connection Management
Log Communications with shell databases
In all cases there is nothing whatsoever in the logs to indicate an authentication failure. I have carefully checked them. I will gladly do
the test again with any or all log levels required and provide a link to view them.
