Can I please get clarification on a FreeIPA instance (as IdM in RHEL8.3) and 
AD's POSIX attributes?

From what I can see, the POSIX attributes - are ignored?

Specifically, when I run 

$ id u...@ad.domain.com
$ id -u u...@ad.domain.com
$ id -g u...@ad.domain.com

The POSIX attribute values are not being returned. I am getting a correct list 
of AD groups etc, which is great. But no POSIX attributes. Do I need to 
explicitly request those attributes?

I note that there is an article from 2017 (1) "Configuring an Active Directory 
Domain with POSIX Attributes" which declares itself deprecated for (2) "Chapter 
8. Using ID Views in Active Directory Environments", which is RHEL7. From what 
I can see both of these are about direct attachment to AD rather than for use 
in an IPA instance (although they reference IdM) 

It looks like AD side POSIX attributes are only available to direct integration 
and even then only when specifically installed with realm (direct integration) 
and  --automatic-id-mapping=no (3)
