sorry for responding you privately. This was not my intention; I just recognized that my mail program has two reply buttons (replay and reply to mailing list). I've played a bit around with your code and implemented a small Perl module and a test script. They both work in my environment, however I'm still not happy with them. 2nd, I get the message 'truncated' => bless( do{\(my $o = 0)}, 'JSON::PP::Boolean' ) from the user_find API 3rd, I do not know what the id is used for and so I'm unsure if I could automatically handle it in my Perl module However they should be a help for others who wants use Perl-script to access IPA-API.

Hi,

I'm completly new to this list and the product behind it. I'm trying to

the server.

use perl to get a list from my IPA installation of all users that are on

unfortunately I cannot help you right now, but have you taken a look at
this blog post:

https://vda.li/en/posts/2015/05/28/talking-to-freeipa-api-with-sessions/

It could give you some pointers.

Share your code if you get it to work :-)

The code in my response (see other mail) works fine, Oliver contacted me
privately.

Oliver, please respond to the list. :)
