I think this is it:

http://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/pki/trunk/pki/base/ca/shared/conf/schema.ldif

Look for cmsuser.


The cert seems to  comes from

05rfc4523.ldif

and is added in

06inetorgperson.ldif

Which is already in our user record.

CMS only seems to "require" usertype, which is a string, and "allows" 
userstate  which is an integer.
