use ldapmodify to change the passwordExpirationTime for that user to be 
far in the future.  You'll first have to use ldapsearch to find the DN 
of that user if you don't already know it.  Then
ldapmodify -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
dn: dn of user
changetype: modify
replace: passwordExpirationTime
passwordExpirationTime: 20380101000000Z

This will cause the password for that user to not expire until the year 
2038.
