[sirio81]

With csv python module you can parse you csv and retrieve the necessary variables. The syntax to create a soap request to create an account is this:

url  = 'https://your.server.name:7071/service/admin/soap'
comm = Communication(url)

admin_token = auth.authenticate(
    url,
    'admin@domain.tld',
    'very-secret-password',
    admin_auth = True,
)

request = comm.gen_request(token=admin_token)

request.add_request(
    'CreateAccountRequest',
    {
        'name': 'new-account@domain.tld',
        'password': 'account-password',
        'a': {
            'givenName': 'New Account',
            'sn': 'Smith',
            'displayName': 'New Account Smith'
            },
    },

    'urn:zimbraAdmin'
)

response = comm.send_request(request)

if not response.is_fault():
    print (response.get_response())
else:
    print(response.get_fault_code())
    print(response.get_fault_message())

If you want to do something similar in bash, you could:

while IFS=, read -r account password givenName
do
    echo createAccount $account \"$password\" givenName \"$givenName\"
done < file.csv | zmprov -f /dev/stdin

assuming your csv has 3 filelds.
