With this project yes. Much of the heavy lifting with be from freeipa,
but we will need/add an api and interface on top to do what we need.
There will be a talk next week at devconf.cz[1] about the whole effort.
I hope Rick would turn that talk into a blog post at some point so that
we can give a wider coverage of the activities.
