The WebExternalAuto function includes this feature. It's easy to
use. (though should probably be mentioned in the config file, oops)
The attributes new AutoCreated users are created with are defined by
Interface/Web.pm's WebExternalAutoInfo. You should be able to override
that function using the overlay system.

create a local/lib/Interface/Web_local.pm with your version of the
function. You might want to crib off the old one to see how it likes
it's hash. 

at least I think Interface/Web supports the overlay system.
