You would need to call for that functionality yourself in a python script. This works for me with FreeIPA 4.1 for example: # python -c "from ipalib import api; api.bootstrap(); api.finalize(); from ipalib.plugins.user import user_pwdchars; from ipapython.ipautil import ipa_generate_password; print ipa_generate_password(user_pwdchars)" dIbhUAM3puoA If you have a vision/idea why/how/when FreeIPA could be used as a Password generated, please feel free to file RFE (and send patches :-) Martin -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-users mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users Go to http://freeipa.org for more info on the project
