Can I list all users defined in LDAP (on RHEL6 or Fedora) ?

Excelent! 

I've just found in (fedora) documentation that it is possible 
filter it by:
ldap_user_search_filter = (sambaAcctFlags=[UX]

It works in sssd-1.6.3 (my F16).

But I've tried it (and need it too) in RHEL6/CentOS6 and there is older
version sssd-1.5.1-66 which doesn't support this feature yet. 

Do you think you/they will increase version of sssd in next RHEL update
(6.3)? 
I suppose not. So I'll need to disable sssd and use nss-pam-ldapd
instead.
