The following table describes the different attributes:

Attribute Objectclass Existance Mandatory Description
uid account
MUST
x
The unique identifier (uid). This attribute is created by the Self-Service interface by reading (and incrementing) the next free uid from <cod>cn=nextfreeuid,ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org</code>.

x
x
Identifies the entry's password and encryption method in the following format: {encryption method}encrypted password. For example: {SSHA}zBiT1dHAZh/8zbCeyocRVWhdP0j9xJ3U. This password will be automatically set through the Self-Service interface. Afterwords, the password can be changed by the user (including the reseller and customer). The initial password is stored in clear text and is encrypted by the provisioning daemon.
uidNumber posixAccount
MUST
x
Related to the /etc/shadow file, this attribute specifies the user's login ID. Is the same as the uid. For example: 3730083.
gidNumber posixAccount
MUST
x
Group ID number. Is the same as the uid. For example: 3730083.
cn posixAccount

Named for historical reasons, the GECOS field is mandatory and is used to store extra information (such as the user's full name). Utilities such as finger or getent access this field to provide additional user information. For a personal account, this entry would consist of givenName and surname, for example Michael Eichenberger. These values are taken from the owners entry (ou=people). For a service account, the attribute sstDisplayName from the corresponding service would be used for the content of this attribute. Please be aware, that this attribute is a IA5String (OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26) IA5 (almost ASCII) character set (7-bit). Does NOT allow extended characters e.g. é, Ø, å etc. The Self-Service interface automatically creates the content of this attribute. Consists of the uid and the domain stoney-wiki.com. For example: 3730083.stoney-wiki.com.

You can use:
~ $ echo "Tüpfelhyänenöhrchen" | iconv -f 'utf-8' -t 'ASCII//TRANSLIT'
which gives you:
Tuepfelhyaenenoehrchen
or:
iconv("UTF-8", "ASCII//TRANSLIT", "Tüpfelhyänenöhrchen")
Please be aware, that some characters don't get converted properly ... For example: Ø and £. The characters $ and € work.
