userCertificate is an X.509 certificate and should be
transferred using ;binary.  This requires you have a 
copy of the certificate encoded using BER (or DER).
In LDIF, I recommend using the URI inclusion form.

userCertificate;binary:< file:///path/to/cert.der

If using OpenSSL to manipulate certificates, be sure
to specify DER output (as the default is PEM).
