I'm working on adding support for freeipa DNS to openstack designate

The JSON-RPC and XML-RPC API is still not "officially supported"
(read: documented), though it's extremely unlikely to change.
If you need an example, run any ipa command with -vv, this will print
out the request & response.
API.txt in the source tree lists all the commands and params.
This blog post still applies (but be sure to read the update about
--cacert):

Ok. Next question is - how does one do the equivalent of the curl
command in python code?
Here is a pretty stripped-down way to add a user. Other commands are
similar, you just may care more about the output:
from ipalib import api
from ipalib import errors
api.bootstrap(context='cli')
api.finalize()
api.Backend.xmlclient.connect()
try:
api.Command['user_add'](u'testuser',
givenname=u'Test', sn=u'User',
loginshell=u'/bin/sh')
except errors.DuplicateEntry:
print "user already exists"
else:
print "User added"
How would one do this from outside of ipa? If ipalib is not available?
