The main issue is that the create_user iControl method takes an array of UserInfo structures. You are just passing in a scalar value. The server is trying to coerce this into an array and it can't do it so it's treating it like an array size of 0.

 

 

 

 

 

Aw... now it works! That was the missing link I didn't get from the documentation. Many thanks! :-)

 

 

 

Let me know if anything else comes up.

 

 

 

 

Well, yes. There is something.

 

I need to create accounts *without* passwords since the Authentication should go against LDAP or Radius. If there is a password at the /etc/shadow the box would only use that. Is there a way to avoid a password and to set '!!' at the passwordfield at the shadow, like the GUI does?
