AFPASSWD completed with errors.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Set database parameter SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON to true
2. Attempt a password change using FNDCPASS and it fails.

Note:
After setting the database parameter SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON to true, all of the following occurs:
 - no username/password combination can be used for logon,
 - also the passwords cannot be changed by FNDCPASS/AFPASSWD,
 - and they can logon to EBS Homepage, but cannot open forms, so cannot create users from Users form

If SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON parameter is set to FALSE everything is fine and the users are able to use the application.
