Whatever authentication module is used, its function is to verify the login id and password, and look up its userid, groupid, and home directory. At which point the actual authentication module becomes irrelevant.no sam! seems if you uses sql db based the uuid and giid must mach with a virtual users that will represent the undercover users on auth module in the database table.
That's a distinction without any difference. There's nothing that prevents you from using different uids and gids with mysql, as long as their home directories and maildirs' uids and gids match what's in mysql.
Similarly, nothing stops you from adding all your users into /etc/passwd with the same uid and gid, but different home directories. And then the standard passwd auth modules works like a typical mysql module.
There is no law that says all sql records must have the same uid or gid, either explicitly or the SQL query in the configuration file hardcoding them.
