Dear Rob,
I'm using the python-freeipa library:
(client is initialised and logged in - tested and working with other calls such as user_show etc)
client.user_add( options.username, options.first_name, options.last_name, options.name, mail=options.mail, home_directory=options.home_directory, uidnumber=options.uid if options.uid else -1, gidnumber=options.primary_gid, user_password=options.password, )
Regards, Callum

Running v4.5.0 (CentOS 7.4 distribution) API version 2.228
Setting it to -1 gives: ValidationError: invalid 'uid': must be at least 1
Need more information on what exactly it is you are doing.

When using the API to create an account, if I don't specify the uidnumber I get this error:
missing attribute "uidNumber" required by object class "posixAccount"
I was expecting the uidNumber to function thus: "system will assign one if not provided"
Am I missing something?
You need to set uidnumber to -1 to have DNA automatically assign a value (pre v3.2 the magic number is 999).
