Create users using scripting language

Hi,

Somebody know how can I create users using a script language
like perl,
python or php? On windows I allways did this with vbscript
and ADSI. Is
there a similar way to do this?

Thanks,

Paulo Estrela

Yep, you can use batch scripting calling the ldap*
tools....

I strongly encourage you to use a scripting language not
only for 
user/group management but also for general server
management.  If you 
are already familiar with a scripting language, inquire
about LDAP 
support/modules. Most scripting languages have LDAP support
(perl, ruby, 
python, tcl, etc.).  If you're not already familiar with any
of these, I 
suggest using python and python-ldap.  It may seem daunting
at first, 
but once you realize the power and flexibility you can
achieve, you'll 
be glad you did, especially if you will be doing a lot of
LDAP and 
related system administration work.

As previously mentioned, you can script calls to
command-line utilities such as ldapmodify.  Or, if you
prefer, most languages these days have one or more
full-featured LDAP libraries.  Some of these libraries
depend on external LDAP binaries; these two do not:

Ruby Net/LDAP is a pure ruby LDAP library.  Adding a user
with it is shown here:
http://www.gemjack.com/gems/ruby-ne
t-ldap-0.0.4/classes/Net/LDAP.html#M000027

Perl Net::LDAP is a pure perl LDAP library.  Adding a user
with it is shown here:
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net
/LDAP.pod#SYNOPSIS

We use the former; for more than a year in production, it's
been bulletproof.
