I had something like this in mind:

+PassSync is a Windows service that runs on AD Domain Controllers to 
intercept password changes. It sends these password changes to the IPA 
LDAP server over TLS. These password changes bypass normal IPA password 
policy settings and the password is not set to immediately expire. This 
is because by the time IPA receives the password change it has already 
been accepted by AD so it is too late to reject it.
+.TP
+IPA maintains a list of DNs that are excempt from password policy. A 
special us
er is added automatically when a winsync replication agreement is 
created. The DN of this user is added to the excemption list stored in 
passSyncManagersDNs in tne entry cn=ipa_pwd_extop,cn=plugins,cn=config.
