Adding the same attribute to ID View and to ipaConfig sounds logical to
me.

Martin, if you want help with this, I can implement ID View-related
parts. SSSD does have code to retrieve ipaConfig already, and it also
has support for reading ID View associated with the host. The resulting
value wouldn't end up in the same place, though, but this is something
to handle on SSSD side.
