IdM also provides a synchronization feature (between AD and IdM, please
refer to
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/windows_integration_guide/active-directory
and more specifically
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/windows_integration_guide/pass-sync
).
The synchronization of passwords requires a service to be installed and
configured on AD domain controllers. It cannot sync already existing
passwords (because they are stored in a hashed form) but is able to capture
password addition/changes and synchronize the new password to IdM.

Please note however that the doc states the following:
In some integration scenarios, the user synchronization may be the only
available option, but in general, use of the synchronization approach is
discouraged in favor of the cross-realm trust-based integration

HTH,
