userParameters attribute

[tridge at samba.org]

Hi Metze,

Following on from our discussion of the userParameters attribute in
AD, I found that if I set the fields in the 'session' tab for a user
(eg. the "active session limit") then windows creates a userParameters
attribute. 

Here is an example:

dn: CN=testuser1,CN=Users,DC=vsofs8,DC=com
userParameters:: Q3R4Q2ZnUHJlc2VudCAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgI

With this example it does replicate correctly to Samba with your
latest changes, but I think it would be worth asking dochelp to see
how we should parse the attribute. Otherwise we could not offer any
admin tool to manipulate it.

Once we know the format we'll also know if its ever possible that it
contains something that won't parse as UTF8.

Cheers, Tridge
