Actually using CLIs would be a preferred and supported way for the
time being.<br>
APIs would be the second. They are stable but not public. We have
not published them because so far no one seriously considered
calling IPA from another application. May be you are going to be the
first. You can look at the extnsibility guide. Also we would be able
to provide additional guidance but we are not ready to call it an
API we not going to break so if you are fine with modifying your app
if we change things it might be a good option for both of us to move
to a more production ready API.<br>
LDAP is not a preferred method for creation of the entries because
we do more in the code than just calling LDAP modify.<br>
We can help you to craft something but effectively you would have to
duplicate our ipa user-add logic within your code. I suspect you do
not want to go this path.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
