The basic requirement is the libsss_nss_idmap package which contains a
library with the calls to SSSD and is already available since a couple
of versions.

The module in the SSSD tree also uses calls from libsss_idmap to convert
between different SID representations but they can be replaced by
suitable calls from a Samba library.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
