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-net-ldap-0.0.4/classes/Net/LDAP.html#M00002...
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.
