Also, this approach wouldn't work well with respect to multiple domains with different schemas.
Jan's proposal, which I like, was to change the ldap_user_extra attribute syntax from: ldap_user_extra_attrs = ldap_attr_name1, ldap_attr_name2
to: ldap_user_extra_attrs = ldap_attr_name1:sysdb_attr_name1, ldap_attr_name2:sysdb_attr_name2
The sysdb_attr_name would not be mandatory, if the sysdb name was omitted, then the back end would save the attribute verbatim.
If there was a conflict between the name the user chose (or the original LDAP attribute name), the SSSD would throw an error.
I like this a lot, please do it.
Although I wonder, should the order be the reverse ? I think of it as assignments so mentally I would visualize them as: ldap_user_extra_attrs = internal_name_1:ldap_name_1, internal_name_2:ldap_name_2
How about
ldap_user_extra_attrs = internal_name_1=ldap_name_1, internal_name_2=ldap_name_2
then?
