Hi all, We have found something out.
When you add a user (like cmdtestuser) to FreeIPA and add it to group: - admins - trust admins - editors And you add this same useraccount to a Linux box and do a "su cmdtestuser" you are able to do a "kinit" abd give your password that user has in FreeIPA. After this you can run a curl script from the commandline with a "add_user" and actually add that user to IPA. So that works. That is what we actually want to do from PHP but testing this with a HTTP/HTTPD user in IPA doesn't work. Shouldn't that be possible ? I hope so!
