I had a look and ran out of time now, so I post the steps I have taken
here to be able to pick up later.

the LDIF and CSV import feature is currently disabled/commentd out in
the HTML templates.  To enable them, his change need to be done.  I
checked out the source using

  svn co https://oss.gonicus.de/repositories/gosa/trunk/gosa-plugins/ldapmanager

but using the package gosa-plugin-ldapmanager work too.  This is the
first step one need to do:

Then I created a simple CSV file users.csv with content
'test,Test,Testersen' and tried to import it with columns 1->uid,
2->GivenName, 3->sn.  Starting the import aborted with a popup looking
like this:

  Error

  Post-event hook reported a problem: change_password: Principal does
  not exist while changing password for test@INTERN"..  Password
  change cancelled!

  [Ok]

The apache/error.log file had an entry like this:

  perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
  perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
  perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I guess some perl program was called with the wrong arguments or
locale.  I installed using the nb_NO.UTF-8 locale, so the en_US.UTF-8
locale is not supposed to be enabled.

Perhaps someone else can pick up the fixing before I find another
spare 30 minutes. :)
