That helps a lot. Thanks! I would use ipalib, but I'm developing a

While XML may be deprecated, it'll stick around for a long time. But
JSON is a good choice.
best way forward (unless you know a way to use it in
Ruby :). I'm guessing in JSON, the structure would look something like
this:
{
"method": "user_add",
"params": [
[],
{
"uid":"testuser",
"givenname":"Test",
"sn":"User",
"userpassword":"mySecretPasswordBlahBlah"
...
}
]
}
Maybe I'll try to compile some documentation. I know that this page
helped a lot, to cook up a quick ruby client with Curb:

I've just CC-d you on a patch to the devel list that switches the IPA
client to JSON-RPC. To use it:
- Check out the git master and apply the patch
- Copy /etc/ipa/default.conf to ~/.ipa/default.conf
- Now a command like `./ipa -vv user-find` will print out the JSON it
sends & receives.
It dumps the whole request/response so the output is not ideal for your
use, but I'm sure you can handle it.
It works from the source tree, no build/installation required.
You probably found out that the CLI options and API options/LDAP
attributes sometimes have different names. The `ipa show-mappings`
command can give you a mapping table.
One more thing: please add the API version to your requests to prevent
surprises down the road. The official client doesn't currently always do
that; this is a bug. You can get the current version with `ipa ping`:
$ ipa ping
------------------------------------------
IPA server version 3.1.0. API version 2.47
------------------------------------------
{
"method": "user_add",
"params": [
[],
{
"uid":"testuser",
"givenname":"Test",
"sn":"User",
"userpassword":"mySecretPasswordBlahBlah"
...
"version": "2.47",
}
]
}
