The file that controls this UI is 
serverroot/clients/dsgw/config/display-orgperson.html.  This is a 
"template" that is parsed by the CGIs and rendered as HTML.  If you look 
at line 188 in this file you will see where it sets the objectclasses 
for the new user.  It would be easy to add the shadowAccount to this 
list - the only required attribute is "uid" which is already supplied by 
the UI.  Unfortunately, it would be more difficult to add posixAccount 
to this list because that objectclass requires cn, uidNumber, gidNumber, 
and homeDirectory, which are not part of the UI.  So those fields would 
have to be added.  I think this would be a good enhancement, to either 
add shadow and posix account support to display-orgperson.html, or 
create a new template for posix/shadow accounts.
