Is it possible to use CUPI to create an LDAP imported subscriber?

Hi!
 
I just started to look at CUPI and have added a few users with a perl script. I would also like to more or less import users from LDAP programmatically, and after playing around for a while I started thinking. Is it only the fields LdapCcmPkid, LdapType and LdapCcmUserId that indicates that a user was originally imported? If so, would it be terribly wrong to create the users as below? I pulled the pkid by doing a run sql select pkid from enduser where userid = "alice" at the CLI, have'nt found a way to do that via any API in CUC (the AXL interface a la CUCM is not available) so maybe I can update it on a manual basis. The rest of the user info is easy to pull directly from either LDAP or CUCM. Am I missing anything or would this result in the same database information as if it was imported via cuadmin (given that the pkid is correct)?
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<User>
    <Alias>alice</Alias>
    <FirstName>Alice</FirstName>
 <LastName>Adams</LastName>
    <DtmfAccessId>12345</DtmfAccessId>
    <LdapCcmPkid>351331bc-af44-461c-ab7b-31d9c93cd5b7</LdapCcmPkid>
    <LdapType>3</LdapType>
    <LdapCcmUserId>alice</LdapCcmUserId>
</User>
Kind regards,

Great, thanks! I was skiing last week that´s why I havent replied sooner. I'll do a bit more testing in my lab, the main problem as I see it is that it is kind of difficult to extract the pkid from the enduser table in CUC that dirsync populates, but then again that is something I can do manually for the time being.
 
Kind regards,

Also looking for an answer on importing users and whether AXL support is coming soon.

POST import/users/ldap?templateAlias=myvmtemplate
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ImportUser>
<alias>jdoe</alias>
<firstName>John</firstName>
<lastName>Doe</lastName>
<pkid>..the pkid of the user..</pkid>
<displayName>John Doe</displayName>
<dtmfAccessId>12345</dtmfAccessId>
</ImportUser>


to get the pkid of the user you first need to find the user however;
GET import/users/ldap?query=(alias%20is%20jdoe)

Ultimately I want to integrate this into an already functioning PHP/AXL website that creates the phones. I just want the script to test for the existance of the mailbox and import it if it isn't already there. The calls to check for the mailbox existance already work, it's the creation part that is kicking my rear.

 
Same result.
 
Current Query:
 
curl -X POST http://unity:8443/vmrest/import/users/ldap?templateAlias=ATW%20Voicemail%20Template -d "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ImportUser><alias>myuid</alias><firstName>Jason</firstName><lastName>Rohm</lastName><pkid>ce8a358d-cd07-4aed-b1b1-e2c354aab7dd</pkid><displayName>Jason Rohm</displayName><dtmfAccessId>5385</dtmfAccessId></ImportUser>" -k --user-agent "Java/1.6.0_20" --header Content-Type:"application/xml" -S -v -u "UIDWD" --trace-ascii curl.txt

Based on functioning PHP query output:
 
alias: myuid
firstName: Jason
lastName: Rohm
dtmfAccessId: 5385
pkid: ce8a358d-cd07-4aed-b1b1-e2c354aab7dd
PHP Code:
 
<?php
 require_once "HTTP/Request.php";
 $s_SERVER = "https://unity:8443";
 $clientID = "REMOVED";
 $clientPWD = "REMOVED";
 $userID = 'myuid';
 $dtmfAccessId = '5385';
 $req =& new HTTP_Request($s_SERVER . "/vmrest/import/users/ldap?query=(alias%20is%20" . $userID . ")");
 $req->setBasicAuth($clientID, $clientPWD);
 $response = $req->sendRequest();
 if (PEAR::isError($response)) {
    echo $response->getMessage();
 } else {
    $a_xmlResponse = xmlstr_to_array($req->getResponseBody());
    #var_dump($req->getResponseBody());
    #var_dump($a_xmlResponse);
 }
 $alias = $a_xmlResponse["ImportUser"]["alias"];
 $firstName = $a_xmlResponse["ImportUser"]["firstName"];
 $lastName = $a_xmlResponse["ImportUser"]["lastName"];
 $dtmfAccessId = "5385";
 $pkid = $a_xmlResponse["ImportUser"]["pkid"];
 if(1) {
  echo "alias: $alias\n";
  echo "firstName: $firstName\n";
  echo "lastName: $lastName\n";
  echo "dtmfAccessId: $dtmfAccessId\n";
  echo "pkid: $pkid\n";
 }
?>

There is no error returned. It just fails quietly.

I'm a little unfamiliar with the server itself. I haven't figured out how to pull the errors from that side yet.

maybe you need the escape the quotes inside the -d ?
i.e. -d "<xml version=\1.0\" encoding=\UTF-8\" etc

according the "standards" there must be a space after the colon in the header,
i.e. Content-Type: application/xml
