To use the extra user, you will need to find one that already exists in
the test environment.  For example, you could test against the s3member
environment, and use --extra-user=$DOMAIN\\$DC_USERNAME%$DC_PASSWORD to
test against the domain administrator and the local administrator.

I don't recommend trying to use the machine account, as you may have
seen I had great trouble because it's password changes. 

Otherwise, you main option is to add another user in the test
environment setup, for example like the 'pdbtest' user in
selftest/target/Samba3.pm (but in this case you would also need to give
it a password). 

Hopefully these give you some good options, or you could use the test
as-is, but change it to run in the plugin_s4_dc environment, where the
authenticated user SID should resolve to a GID.
