Problem conclusion

• If the admin id or nodename is managed by LDAP, and it will
  expire soon, then the client may fail to authenticate and
  display 'ANS1051I Invalid user id or password', or may continue
  but not display message  'ANS8004W Your password will expire
  within 1 day(s)'. After applying the fix, the client will
  display message  'ANS8004W Your password will expire within 1
  day(s)' when an LDAP password is expiring soon.
