[keycloak-user] user Attribute error

[Marek Posolda]

You can do this already though. You need to setup like:
- LDAP federation provider must have edit mode UNSYNCED
- LDAP mapper for your attribute must have "readOnly" to "on" and 
"alwaysReadValueFromLDAP" to "off". But this is default settings for the 
mapper for UNSYNCED edit mode anyway, so you don't need to explicitly 
configure anything in the mapper (you can just doublecheck if mapper is 
really set like this)

With setup like this, the attribute of user is read from LDAP during 
initial import of user from LDAP. But when you change attribute to some 
other value, the value is updated just to Keycloak DB (not to LDAP). And 
for all next reads of user, keycloak will see the value from the DB (not 
the one from LDAP).

Also you can add any new attribute to the user too. This will be always 
saved to Keycloak DB and never to LDAP.
