These tools are designed for administrators to work from a command-line, use in scripts, etc. The design goal is to provide 100% of capabilities that the UI has, something which is often not true. Developers ---------- These scripts use an XML-RPC interface to communicate with the IPA server. Please use only this API and avoid the temptation to communicate directly with the LDAP server. It is our philosophy to have a robust, standard interface for doing all IPA administrative work.
