Speaking about D-Bus, interns in Brno successfully used this tutorial a month ago: http://excid3.com/blog/an-actually-decent-python-dbus-tutorial/ I do not remember why but we slightly modified the code for consumer to use Interface() constructor instead of get_dbus_method(): infopipe_obj = bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe", "/org/freedesktop/sssd/infopipe") ifp = dbus.Interface(infopipe_obj, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe') # call the method remotely result = ifp.GetUserAttr(username, ["ipaSshPubKey"]) So, if you encounter a mysterious failure you might want to try this variant :-) FreeIPA framework should act as 'consumeservice.py' and oddjob will implement most of 'myservice.py' for you.
