This isn’t possible from LDAP I don’t think. This is likely a oddjobmkhome or 
pam_mkhomedir configuration issue. Something like ansible will help you deploy 
the configuration to all your systems. 

Saying this, it’s a great time to say that unix group permissions basically are 
equivalent to “user”, so every user *must* have a user-private-group, IE 
william:william else you leave yourself open to some wild lateral movement 
attacks on unix. 

It’s also very risky to allow r-x on others for home directories, so I would 
strongly advise against this action. 

My advice is make sure everyone has a user-private-group, and have default 
permissions of u:rwx, g:r-x, o:— 

Hope that helps,
