Topic: API to Create new Users from external app

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.6
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/) OpenLdap
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 13.04
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Integrated a custom application with roundcube/iRedMail. Need the ability to create mail accounts for users during the registration process. Is there an API that I can use to create the accounts ?

If no API exists , I am willing to put in some time to this effort , if someone can give me some directions.

Re: API to Create new Users from external app

As the iRedAdminPro (web administration of iRedMail) is closed source and the opensource version is very limited, I think such API will be very limited as well.
Also the compatibility maintenance will be difficult - there is not official stable API.

I think, the easiest would be to start from the scratch. I personally use set of command line scripts written in PHP to create domains, users and aliases. This is working fine.

You're wrong. Customer gets FULL source code (Python source code, HTML/CSS/JavaScript/Images) after paid.

Unfortunately, iRedAdmin-Pro doesn't provide these APIs.Sorry. But you can insert mail accounts in SQL/LDAP directly without iRedAdmin-Pro.

Thanks - Got it to work by creating user records in LDAP and the database.

Re: API to Create new Users from external app

I understand closed source as the opposite of open source (like open source software - OSS).
It's perfect, you provide source code along with Pro version! But still derive any work from such code doesn't make sense.

No offense, Zhang - you do amazing work! Thank you!
