[Freeipa-users] Provision user accounts & groups from external IM

[Willem Bos]

Hi all,

Is there an API to provision user accounts to FreeIPA that I can use
from an external Identity Management environment? Of course, we could
just simply create an LDAP object in the 389 server but this probably
won't trigger the same actions as using `ipa user-add ...` or `ipa
group-add ...` from the command line.

I did find the user_add class in the API documentation
(http://freeipa.org/page/Python_Coding_Style). Is this the way to go?
If so, is there sample code available? (please be gentle, for me
programming means bash :-)

Regards,
Willem.
