Add user from remote client

[PalGiupo]

Hi, I created a Radicale server and I added users from the terminal. Is not there a way to create users remotely? I need to share the server among more friends, and they must be able to create their users remotely. I read the guide but I did not find anything about it. Could not you tell me if there is a way to do it?
The login is for registered users only, but I wanted a way to add new ones.
Thanks

The CalDAV and CardDAV protocols does not include language to describe "create this user with that password". You can setup one account with one password, and then share that one account + password among all your friends, and everyone can write on all calendars and all contactbooks. You can setup a separate web application independently of Radicale which provides some way of asking for username and password, and creates accounts (either failing or overwriting if choosing an existing name). You can then tell your friends to first visit that other we page, and when done fill in same information in their CalDAV/CardDAV clients. Or you can do same with an sms app, or an irc bot, or whatever other interface you can think of... - Jonas

Setup a mailserver and use imap auth plugin

And if I created a Flask front-end to create LDAP users, and I have Radicale users authenticated on LDAP, could it work? it's a good idea? Or is it too complicated? I've never used LDAP, but it seems useful
