Hi Sharad,
Currently - no such way.
Bare in mind you need to provide also the user ID.
In addition - it may be that not all DS providers hold information on
the users in the same way, and we perform some normalization in order to
store them at DB in the same format.
However, I guess we can run this "Guid encoding" code at
engine-manage-domains, and then, it will be possible to add the user (if
you provide the baseDN FQDN) to the system.
Feel free to suggest a patch ;)
In addition, an idea that popped to my head - let's say you want to add
100 users this way - will you provide for every one of them the baseDN?
Maybe we should be able to configure a fefault base DN per domain?
