By 'log in' I assume you're asking about shell access to your system, which
makes use of an ldap pam module to authenticate users. If so, the function
of prompting users to change their password will be handled by that piece
of software, and you should consult the documentation distributed with it.

If that's not the case, please clarify your authentication scenario.
