I think Simo's thoughts were different - he did not opposed to this part because it is too much work (it shouldn't be), but because he did not want that part of the workflow. Given the simplicity of this part, I see 2 options: 1) Do it and do it together with other API is it just one MODRDN command 2) Decide we do not want to do it, i.e. do not file any RFE > Rest looks OK. It should be fine, just one command could done differently to confine it better as per Honza's idea: ipa stageduser-add --from-deleted username Thierry, you know what to do :-) Martin _______________________________________________ Freeipa-devel mailing list Freeipa-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel
