[Samba] Samba / LDAP : map uid to another field ?

[Sylvain]

I found « username map [script] » directive in smb.conf man page. I've
tested P1234=jdoe and it's works. Next is to make a one line script to make
this dynamic ^^
Another solution was to make a proxy LDAP instead of a replica.

Thanks for the help !
If anyone have another idea, i'm open :)
