Are there any plans to "update" UserFolder to allow xmlrpc calls into it? The addition of manage_addUser/manage_editUser/etc that wrap _doAddUser/_doChangeUser/etc would probably suffice. The current manage_users interface is not xml-rpc friendly, unfortunately :)
The point of this, BTW, is to allow a user-friendly "control panel" on the mac and windows to add (and possibly later edit) manager users. We find that the process of [remembering|setting] the admin password and then logging in, finding acl_users, adding a user, logging out (usually quitting the browser), logging back in is quite a problem for our users. Hence the control panel being able to add a manager user in one step.
You may consider downloading the ZMC GUI, it does most of this, and uses XML-RPC. it is written in Python and GTK. I am owkring on one in wxPython, for X-Platform use.
The point of my post was that you can't currently XMP-RPC to add a user - the manage_users method is not a usable method from an XML-RPC perspective. We are developing our own Mac and Windows interfaces that have a slimmer scope than ZMC (and also some extensions that ZMC won't ever have) and is branded with our logos. We intend to release the source soon too - but it sounds like it'd be of little use to your project, as it's written in C. Richard
