Adding system accounts? #15

Hello,

First I would like to thank you for your work, and for making it into the Ansible extra module repository!

Do you plan to add a way to configure sysaccounts into those modules? The lack of API on FreeIPA side make it hard to manage those, but it also means it will be non-trivial to create a module for that.

Hi @Mayeu,

if we find a way how to do it, for sure, we can add it. Please let me know if you find something.

Right now the only things I can think of would be to directly execute LDIF loading via Python. For references there is one such example on this page: https://www.freeipa.org/page/EJabberd_Integration_with_FreeIPA_using_LDAP_Group_memberships . But I am not sure if it is possible to add external dependency such are some python-ldap thingy (I actually don’t have any python knowledge)
