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.
With 389 it is possible to disable sync of AD user creation to DS.
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Administration_Guide/Using_Windows_Sync-Synchronizing_Users.html
12.4.4.2. Configuring User Sync in the Command Line
To disable user sync, set nsds7NewWinUserSyncEnabled: off
Then, you will add the ntUser objectclass to each IPA user you want to
sync, and at the same time add the attribute ntUserDomainID: username
(corresponds to the AD user samAccountName attribute). This will "link"
the IPA user entry to the corresponding AD user entry.
You mention password sync and user sync - I'm not sure if you mean them
separately, or if you are implying that they have to be used together -
they do not. You should be able to install PassSync on your domain
controllers _without configuring a winsync agreement in IPA_. PassSync
should then just ignore password changes for users that it cannot find
in IPA.

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.
