As stated by others, there is no standard DIT for users in enterprise
directories, the best way is to make it flexible. I would suggest using
the same way as Sun Identity Manager : an identity template or rule.
We would have :
- simple configuration : choose rdn attribute and suffix (two fields)
- template based : uid=$uid,ou=$orgunit,dc=company,dc=com
- "rule" based : maybe a javascript function ?

Just my two cents :-)
