We have many current usernames from LDAP that do not exactly match with the 
usernames from AD.
Unfortunately, i guess CES SMB will need us to use either AD or LDAP or use the 
same usernames in both AD and LDAP.
I have been looking for a solution where could map the different usernames from 
LDAP and AD but have not found a solution. So exploring ways to do this from 
RHEL SMB.
I would appreciate if you have any solution to this issue.

As of now we use LDAP uids/gids and SSH keys for authentication to the HPC 
cluster.
We want to use CES SMB to export the same mounts which have LDAP 
usernames/uids/gids however because of different usernames in AD - it has 
become a challenge.
Even if we do find a solution to this, i want to be able to use AD 
authentication for SMB and ssh key authentication for NFS.

The above are the reasons we are just using CES with NFS and user defined 
authentication for users to have access with login through ssh keys.

Regards,
Lohit
