Depends slightly on what program from the OpenLDAP Software you're using, 
but one simple example would be:

$ ldapwhoami -xH ldap://server.host.domain:port/ -D "cn=<login>,ou=users,dc=mail" -w secret

where "secret" is the cleartext (i.e. not hashed, and not base64) of the 
credentials stored in cn=<login>'s userPassword.
