Full ACK !

Theres a lack of admin tools on the command line and gui to make task simple.
At least there should be a set of tools included in openssl for managing user and group accounts like useradd, usermod,.. for<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc/passwd.

Compare:

excute: usermod -d<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/home/myuser Myuser

VS

create myuser_change.ldif:
dn: cn=Myuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=org
homeDirectory:<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/home/myuser

execute:
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -W -f myuser_change.ldif
