By going through the previous planning steps (network model, DIT, and security model), you should have some ideas of what the values for the following profile attributes.
cn
defaultServerList
preferredServerList
bindTimeLimit
searchTimeLimit
profileTTL
defaultSearchBase
defaultSearchScope
serviceSearchDescriptor
attributeMap
objectclassMap
followReferrals
credentialLevel
authenticationMethod
serviceCredentialLevel
serviceAuthenticationMethod
Out of the above attributes, only the cn, the defaultServerList and defaultSearchBase are required attributes. They have no default values. The rest are optional, and some have default values.
