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, 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.

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