Is this an integration with the external provisioning system?
Do you need to do it in real time or in batches?

A simple solution that comes to mind is:
to create users in a different sub tree in ipa temporarily
run a cron job to inspect this area and translate the data in this temp
entry into the arguments of the CLI add user command and then clean this
temp area.
ldap search > parse > ipa user-add
delete processed temp entries

The job can run at the cadence you think is reasonable - 30 min may be?
