Ideally, yes, we would have the uidNumber present and populated.
In our situation we don’t.  That could change in the future.

Basically, I was using pam_ldap and it worked for ssh logins, but would not 
work with samba.  I built the user account on the local machine, and set a 
random password.  When users logged in, the auth request was passed to pam_ldap 
and worked.  I didn’t have to worry about the uid/gid, because those were local.

I would like to try and accomplish a similar result with sssd, mainly in order 
to get it functioning with samba.  Is is possible for me to set it up such that 
i build the local user account just like above, and then use sssd *only* for 
authentication?
