Assuming you use SSSD, If you change /etc/nsswitch.conf to be 'sss files' rather than 'files sss' for passwd / shadow / group, it will use SSSD first before local. You could also simply remove them from the /etc/[passwd/shadow/group] files too and use only LDAP via SSSD...

I have a user that I have set locally on a Red Hat machine.  I store that user in LDAP with the same Posix attributes, but their password differs.  When I log in from the Red Hat machine, it uses the local cached credentials of that user (LDAP password and credentials never seem to matter).  How can I synchronize the local and ldap version of the user so that I don't have to create it locally AND on LDAP on every single remote machine?

Thanks,
