1. How do I add posixAccounts in the admin web interface (eg.
http://ldap.mydomain.com:15613/clients/dsgw/bin/lang?context=dsgw)?

      

You can't in the _web_ interface, but you can in the console.  This
won't work from the Users&Groups tab in the main console window.  Open
the Directory Server into which you want to add the users.  Go to the
Directory tab.  With the Properties editor, you can "posix" enable an
existing user or create a new user with the posix attributes.
    

But the console seems to need you to run some kind of java app, and I believe
this needs X?
My server has no X installed.

Isn't there a setting somewhere? In a clear text file (for defaults)
  

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.
