Sorry for the very late reply,

The new cli tools with 1.4.x are explained here:

http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/dsadm-dsconf.html

These are a thin wrapper on our python library which has documentation
(and I wish I could rememeber where it is >.>)

There is a lot of example code, and I would be happy to help you get
some working demos going, and explain how it all works if you want to
pursue this further.

Thanks!
