You need to Base64 encode the value.  The following perl snippet will
give you what you're looking for:

  : iago ~$ perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("uid= username,dc=foo,dc=bar")'
  dWlkPSB1c2VybmFtZSxkYz1mb28sZGM9YmFy

And this should give you the following DN:

  dn:: dWlkPSB1c2VybmFtZSxkYz1mb28sZGM9YmFy
