I'm note sure if this will help your particular situation, but I find 
having an actual LDAP editor like phpLDAPadmin really helps where the 
kolba-webadmin is laking in features. I find myself using phpLDAPadmin 
to add users to custom groups for ownCloud, changing users' UIDs, 
updating passwords, and fixing spelling mistakes in usernames. Also, a 
basic understanding for LDAP helps.
