A simple change in phpLdapAdmin allowed me to create a posix user in
fedora-ds. In the templates/creation directory, edit the file
new_user_template.php, search for 'value="gn"' and replace it with
'value="givenname"'.

I'm also using groupOfUniqueNames for authentication via pam - I had to
create a group using the custom template, selecting the groupOfUniqueNames
objectclass and then skipped adding members to the group until after the
object was created. When I tried to add members to the new group, the
template for groupofnames was loaded, not groupofuniquenames, so when you
add a member, it creates a value for the attribute member (not
uniqueMember). I hacked the file
templates/modification/group_of_names.php. Around line 21, " $attr_name =
'member'; "  I replaced member with uniqueMember - a hack, I know, but it
worked. Now I can create the initial member as a uniqueMember.

That's as far as I've gotten.
