The account object class is for computer accounts only, not for user
accounts, that's why this object class only provides a limited set of
information (the cosine.schema provides some more information).
In order to describe user accounts you should use object class person
or any children of this class, like organizationalPerson or
inetOrgPerson.
If you have to stick to account object class you should define and
create an auxiliary class to your requirements.
