Question Authenticate Owncloud from Plesk user database

[Michael K]

Hallo

We have one server that runs the individual websites of up to 30 organizations.
It is controlled by Plesk 12.5 (Ubuntu 14.4).
On the same server, we also have Owncloud installed.

How can we easily manage the users in Owncloud, without duplicating the users created in Plesk?
The organizations create their own email users.
Owncloud can authenticate against an IMAP server. That does work quite well.

But most users use email forwarding.
Creating IMAP postboxes for them would result in useless extra storage consumption.
Is there a way accessing the Plesk user database, via some extension?

Thanks for your thoughts,
Michael

You can write own extension for your needs, at least - https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/extensions-guide/what-are-plesk-extensions?.76331/

Thanks for the link to the documentation.

I now thought I could use the XML API to query user information.
Obviously, one cannot ask "give me the password", but "is this the password for this account?".
I did not see any such API call.
Is there such an API today?

Thanks
Michael
