It's a little hard to understand exactly what you're looking to 
accomplish, for instance what does "remember password" mean?

It doesn't sound like what you're looking for requires adding a plugin 
module, rather you're looking to add a front-end to IPA which is easy to 
do with scripts. IPA is quite amenable to scripting because we provide a 
command line interface. You can either call the ipa command from a shell 
script or you can write your own Python scripts and invoke the IPA API 
directly. Be careful though, the type of operations you've described all 
require administrator privileges, it's not something a general user can do.
