Hello! I would recommend you to base your implementation on the generic principle sketched in https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1593 . Let's take https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3613 as an example: [RFE] Provide a self service enrollment capability with admin approval and notification workflow 1. User fills-in a web form for account registration. 2. A new user object in staging area is created. 3. FreeIPA framework calls a D-Bus method com.redhat.ipa.hook_user_self_registration (or something like that) This method/service/how is it called can be then provided by arbitrary script which can be connected to D-Bus using Oddjob. http://people.redhat.com/nalin/oddjob/ This will lift the burden of e-mail processing from you and will allow users to do anything with the data passed to hooks. I hope this helps. -- Petr^2 Spacek -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-devel mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel Contribute to FreeIPA: http://www.freeipa.org/page/Contribute/Code
