You could use --random instead of --password, which will force a nice 10
char random PW that can be captured and sent to your user.

Thanks Craig!
That's quite a handy reply. It's actually a lot nicer than what I was
planning to do. I appreciate this a lot.

Subject: [Freeipa-users] Ipa add-user non interactively specifying a
password.
Hi List,
I'm trying to make a script to add users non interactively with ipa
add-user and specify a password of testpw
I tried:
ipa user-add username --first=firstname --last=lastname
--homedir=/home/username --password testpw --gidnumber=0000
--noprivate --shell=/bin/bash
#ipa: ERROR: command 'user_add' takes at most 1 argument
and this:
ipa user-add username --first=firstname --last=lastname
--homedir=/home/username --password=testpw --gidnumber=0000
--noprivate --shell=/bin/bash
#ipa: error: --password option does not take a value
No Luck.
Any suggestions?

I will take it a lot further - salt to taste (and watch the line
wraps)...
