Assuming that is a problemm... It's not for me. 

It's not an autofs problem. It's the user space problem to figure that. 
Winbind is one possibility, but other's are possible. In some settings u can
simply use the same name and assume the same name goes for windows. In other 
cases you can use a mapping table in the script that automount calls. Autofs
should just provide the local uid,gid from the calling process.
