I'm jumping in here and I may not be understanding the problem completely, but what about having the second, separate form for entering another person's name post back to the current page. On the current page, you default to querying and using YOUR (the current user's) LDAP data, but if the user name form field from the secondary form is passed in, then override that default, and query and display the LDAP data for the person you requested in the secondary form.
So: On first view, the form says name: Loryn Williams Location: L'ville mailstop: J12-02 Type of search requested: Patent Search: Years: then the buttons Submit Accept Send to Triage Substitute another user: (username field) Go Button So the page loads, shows your info, you enter in Joe Smith into the "substitute another user" form and hit go. The page reloads, and this time Joe Smith's data is displayed in the form fields. Would that work?
