[Fedora-directory-users] Adding New Users

[Jared B. Griffith]

Is there a way to modify what attributes a new user has when creating them? 
I know that the Object Class for account is read only, but there are several attributes we would like to make happen when creating an account rather than going back in and editing them.

You mean, when creating new users in the Console?  No, there is no easy 
way have additional UI elements for additional schema elements.  You'd 
have to hack/write some Java code to do this.

For large numbers of user entry additions, you should consider building 
your own LDIF file and importing, or script it using perl Net::LDAP or 
python-ldap.

Thanks. 
We are making our own PHP web app to handle this since not everyone wants to deal with the console.
