It's not rocket science. You just have to sit down and do some homework. 
This can be easy or sometimes it's a real pain.

1. I vaguely remember conflicting attribute names used with different 
IBM-related OIDs. Not sure whether it was Domino/LDAP or IBM Directory 
Server though.

2. It's also a question of data quality. Sometimes directories contain wrong 
data (syntax or semantics). Since I don't know your data you have to 
investigate this carefully in the light of what your LDAP clients expect to 
be stored in various attributes.

Ciao, Michael.
