Hi,
  FDS includes the posixAccount, posixGroup, and inetOrgPerson object 
classes. You don't really need more than this to do simple user 
authentication for linux and apache, as well as basic personnel info 
management.

  I suggest creating user objects with the following classes:

top
person
inetOrgPerson
account
posixAccount


BR,
