Thank you for your help! Well, my problem is a beginner problem. Not reading enough. :-} And i used a LDAP browser and saw error messages i misinterpreted. Sorry for the noise here.
At least i found my answer here: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3949 But i found also, that many other people have the same problem understanding this behavior. But i have one suggestion: It would be nice using the GUI creating new users to have the opportunity also to insert GID and UID. I know, i can edit it later, but why i have to use this small window with very few entries, when i can’t really use it and have to go to the big one. Maybe it is also a good idea to resign this small window or to have a switch in the configuration to stop this small window. (But, of course, this is not a really big problem.)
