RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jim Minter 2011-10-17 11:25:22 UTC 
In RHDS 8.2 (and 9.0 AFAIK), the only way to specify which attributes to synchronise from AD into RHDS is via writing a plugin (like IPA's ipa-winsync.c).  It would be really nice to be able to configure, per sync agreement, which attributes should and should not be synchronised (and maybe even define the map between AD attribute names and RHDS attribute names).

Per triage, set to FUTURE.
Comment 9 Nathan Kinder 2017-07-19 19:53:42 UTC 
We do not plan to enhance winsync to allow the synchronized attributes to be configurable.  For IdM, we recommend using Trusts.  For RHDS, custom plugins can be written if needed.  Closing as WONTFIX.
