I am not sure its so straightforward on the Linux side.
I want to add a new attribute to identify users as Contractor or Government.
Is this recommended or possible within LDAP?

It is certainly possible to modify the LDAP schema to add an attribute, assuming that a suitable attribute in a class does not already exist. For example,inetOrgPersonalready has "employee type" which might be suitable. However, you could also model the domain differently (using a different/additional OU for example), or perhaps just using groups. I think providing a few scenarios about how you want to filter/search, etc. would help.

Thank you. For example: ipa user-show jdoe -all would show a field of Status: Contractor or Status: Government.

inetOrgPerson already has "employee type" which might be suitable. However, you could also model the domain differently (using a different/additional OU for example), or perhaps just using groups. I think providing a few scenarios about how you want to filter/search, etc. would help.– KevinO
