I will say it again, samba only ignores most of the RFC2307 attributes
on the AD DC, samba will use all the RFC2307 attributes on any machine
that is not an AD DC.
Yes, sssd will use the 'unixHomeDirectory' attribute, but it will still
have to be set in AD, otherwise you will have to revert to the sssd
equivalent of 'template homedir'
