# pyfreeipa

Python module for accessing the FreeIPA/Red Hat Identity Manager API (a.k.a IPA)

This module does not do any exception handling, it wants your code to handle exceptions.

# Usage

The following sample sets up a IPA API object with minimal configuration.

```python
from pyfreeipa.Api import Api

ipaapi = Api(
    host="ipa.example.org",
    username="ipauser",
    password="somethingsecret"
)

response = ipaapi.ping()

if response.ok:
    result = response.json()['result']
    print('Good: %s' & result['summary'])
else:
    print('Bad: %s' % response.status_code)
```

Included is a `configuration` method that can read all the required configuration options from a yaml file.

# Examples

The `pyfreeipa` module itself can be executed as a wrapper script around `pyfreeipa.Api`

There are also some test scripts that demonstrate it's capabilites in the `test` directory, they have their own [documentation](tests/README.md).

# FreeIPA API Methods

The `Api` object supports both implemented and unimplemented methods

## Unimplemented Methods

Unimplemented methods are supported via the `Api.request()` method:

```python
from pyfreeipa.Api import Api

ipaapi = Api(
    host="ipa.example.org",
    username="ipauser",
    password="somethingsecret"
)

ipaapi.request(
    method='group_add_member',
    args=['groupname'],
    parameters={
        'users': [
            'anne',
            'bob',
            'claire'
        ]
    }
)
```


## Implemented Methods

# Other Methods

The `Api` object has a some methods that do not directly relate to requests to the IPA API

## `login()`

The IPA API login process that isn't standard HTTPS authentication, this method initiates the login and should be sufficient to maintain login througout a session.

## `get()`

A passthrough function that sends a `GET` request to the IPA API session. Returns a `requests.response` object.

## `post()`

A passthrough function that sends a `POST` request to the IPA API session. Returns a `requests.response` object.

## `put()`

A passthrough function that sends a `PUT` request to the IPA API session. Returns a `requests.response` object.

## `request()`

This function checks and verifies it's argments and converts regular string, dictionary, and list objects and converts them into the required data types to submit as a request, executes the request and returns a `requests.Response` object.

### Parameters

* `method` A the IPA API method to be called
* `args` A list of arguments for the method
* `params` A dictionary of parameters for the method

## `preprequest()`

This function checks and verifies it's argments and converts regular string, dictionary, and list objects and converts them into the required data types to submit as a request, executes the request and returns a `requests.PreparedRequest` object.

### Parameters

* `method` A the IPA API method to be called
* `args` A list of arguments for the method
* `params` A dictionary of parameters for the method

## `warnings`

Emits a list of warnings that have occured.

## `clearwarnings()`

Clears the warnings list.
