FreeIPA can't see LDAP custom attributes

I'm trying to add new attributes to FreeIPA, I added the custom attribute and object class to the LDAP using 'ldapmodify', 

#color.ldif
dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
add: attributeTypes
attributeTypes: ( 2.25.28639311321113238241701611583088740684.14.2.2
  NAME 'favoriteColorName'
  EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
  X-ORIGIN 'Extending FreeIPA' )

dn: cn=schema
changetype: modify
add: objectclasses
objectclasses: ( 2.25.28639311321113238241701611583088740684.14.2.1
  NAME 'customPerson' SUP person
  STRUCTURAL
  MAY ( favoriteColorName )
  X-ORIGIN 'Extending FreeIPA' )

then restarted the server and used 

ipa config-mod --addattr=ipaUserObjectClasses=customPerson

as instructed in the Extending the FreeIPA Server and it went all fine, finally I add the plugin to the freeIPA

#color.py
from ipalib.plugins import user
from ipalib.parameters import Str
from ipalib import _
user.user.takes_params = user.user.takes_params + (
    Str('favoritecolorname?',
        cli_name='color',
        label=_('Favorite color'),
    ),
)
user.user.default_attributes.append('favoritecolorname')

when I try to run the command:

ipa user-mod admin --color=red

I get the error:

ipa: ERROR: attribute "favoriteColorName" not allowed

I found the cause of my problem. It looks like that the user 'admin' doesn't have the newly created class 'customPerson' included in it.

[root@domain ~]# ipa user-show admin --all
  dn: uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=sample,dc=com
  User login: admin
  Last name: Administrator
  Full name: Administrator
  Home directory: /home/admin
  GECOS: Administrator
  Login shell: /bin/bash
  Kerberos principal: [email protected]
  UID: 1236600000
  GID: 1236600000
  Account disabled: False
  Password: True
  Member of groups: admins, trust admins
  Kerberos keys available: True
  objectclass: top, person, posixaccount, krbprincipalaux, krbticketpolicyaux,
               inetuser, ipaobject, ipasshuser, ipaSshGroupOfPubKeys

so any attempt to use the attributes that are not included in those objectclasses are not allowed. but modifying the color value for other users is allowed :

[root@domain ~]# ipa user-mod test --color=blue
--------------------
Modified user "test"
--------------------
  User login: test
  First name: test
  Last name: test
  Home directory: /home/test
  Login shell: /bin/bash
  Email address: [email protected]
  UID: 1236600007
  GID: 1236600007
  Account disabled: False
  Favorite color: blue
  Password: True
  Member of groups: ipausers
  Kerberos keys available: True
