Hi,

PS there is a difference between password sync and user (win)sync, they run independently.

So you can do password sync without winsync. Password sync puts a msi on the AD box to intercept the password and send it on before its encrypted (as I understand it)....
Correct.
that might also give your AD admins kittens....
Also correct, which is why the preferred long term solution is cross domain trust.

;]

We also run IPA admins (who can log into the web ui) as a seperate user ID unique in IPA, that way if AD gets hacked the hacker doesnt get to own IPA as well via a password change.

Ouch! The AD admins have already expressed an unwillingness to move some users into a separate container. And I don't want to have several thousand unnecessary entries in my IPA system. It looks like password synchronization is not going to be an option.

Thanks,

        Is there a way to limit what user accounts are synchronized
    from Active Directory? There are around 15,000 entries in our
    production AD system, but probably only about 300 of those need to
    have an account in the IPA system.  Can we set an attribute in the
    user information in AD that would flag that this is a candidate
    for replication, and lack of that attribute would cause an account
    to be skipped?


No. The only thing you can do is create a special container (cn=IPA users or ou=IPA users or something like that), move the users you want to sync into that container, and sync only that container.
