Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your quick response.

Yes, the server on which the external IM environment is hosted does not
have the ipa utils available. As a matter of fact, the server might
even be
hosted off-site. We're just beginning to explore IM solutions for our
environment and the most likely architecture is a 'meta-IM' service that
provisions platform specific IM's like AD, Oracle's Internet Directory
and
IPA. It will probably be a requirement that the meta-IM is to
provision IPA
directly (instead of Meta-IM -> AD -> IPA).

The JASON interface looks promising, I will certainly try the example
provided. Would user_add be the suitable command to use? It's the obvious
candidate, but I just want to make sure...
Yes, user_add is the command.


Also note that the RPC calls use LDAP attribute names, which are often different from the CLI parameters. You can use the show-mappings command to figure out the names to use:

$ ipa show-mappings user-add
Parameter   : LDAP attribute
=========   : ==============
first       : givenname

Be careful as there currently are no warnings if you misspell an argument (we're working on that).
