Description of problem:
When moving an IPA user from preserved to stage, all custom attributes attached
to that account are dropped.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.5.4-10.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Add a user to IDM stage by running the following command:
   $ ipa stageuser-add <loginID> --random --first=xxx --last=xxx --cn=xxx
--displayname=xxx --initials=xxx --homedir=xxx --gecos=xxx --shell=xxx
--email=xxx --title=xxx --employeenumber=xxx --manager=xxx --street=xxx
--city=xxx --state=xxx --postalcode=xxx --emmployeetype=xxx
*--addattr=dtsUniqueID=xxx
--addattr=mailAlternateAddress=xxx --addattr=mailAlternateAddress=xxx
--addattr=apple-generateduid=xxxxxxxx --addattr=nickName=xxxxx*
As per above some custom attributes are added to the IDM account.
2) Activate the user:
   $ ipa stageuser-activate <loginID>
3) Deactivate the account by:
   $ ipa user-del <loginID> --preserve
  * So far all attributes including custom attribute still show on the account.
    Same can be confirmed  with  ldapsearch.*
4) When we  activate the account again. Move the account to stage and check
   its attributes. The custom attributes will not be present.
   $ ipa user-stage <loginID>
   $ ipa stageuser-show <loginID> --all
Actual results:
IDM drops all custom attributes when moving account from preserved to stage
Expected results:
We expect to keep all custom attributes.
