[Freeipa-devel] Include proposal to contrib (expired user accounts query tool)

[Antti Peltonen]

Hi,

Neat little dirty rework but it appears that the framework took all the fun
out of learning Python-LDAP away. ;)

I think I keep the current codebase of my tool as it is and do a fork from
it to run as a IPA plugin. I will on later date submit that for a contrib
review when it is as complete as the standalone version is now.
