ldapwhoami does not work until the password has been changed by manager. I meant that I can successfully pop mail, ftp to servers using the username and password before it has been changed by the manager account

You mean ldapwhoami works for those users __before__ you force the
password change using the manager identity? If ldapwhoami does, then
ldappasswd must work as well.

No straightforward manner. You'll need to crack those passwords
(usually trivial with crypt(3)).
