[Owncloud] one-time password support/account generation by script?

[Stefan Vollmar]

Hello,

I am new to this list. We are currently evaluating the current OpenSource version of ownCloud at our institute and would like to congratulate all developers on a great piece of software - thank you! Installation on a Ubuntu VM worked beautifully and the first impression is excellent.

I am sorry if this has been asked before and I did not find anything on the following two points in the manual:

(1) adding new users with the web interface is simple enough. However, transmitting the initial password is always a bit of a pain (nothing ownCloud specific here). We would prefer to send new users an (automatically generated) E-mail with an expiring "one-time-URL" (containing a more complex password) which logs them into our ownCloud installation and then forces them to immediately choose a new password. Is this possible (automatically generating E-mails we can manage ourselves)? At least forcing new users to choose a new password on their initial login? Thanks!

(2) We would like to use ownCloud also to upload data for an internal ticket system. Ideally, we would like to provide a one-time-URL to a limited storage space which should have been remotely created in the context of opening a new ticket id. Can we script the creation of ownCloud-Accounts and/or "chroot cage-type" directories?

Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
 Stefan
