Unfortunately, LDAP provides no mechanism for retrieving max or min
values. Your only choice is to retrieve all the values and find the
highest one for yourself, then increment by one.
Beware, though, that there is nothing stopping two independent processes
(or threads) from adding the same uidnumber simultaneously.
