An external program can use the XLM-RPC interface to perform IPA queries and updates. This is what the 'ipa' command-line tool does behind the scenes. It's not very readable, but you can take a look at http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=freeipa.git;a=blob_plain;f=API.txt;hb=HEAD to see the API specification. There's a python API included with FreeIPA as well. See http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=freeipa.git;a=blob;f=doc/examples/python-api.py;h=60578e805fb5f2b440ba204c5adbac62e8415c2b;hb=HEAD for an example of how to start using this API.
