When you connect to a Unix computer from a windows machine, the user
must be known to the underlying OS, this is where Samba comes in. With
older versions of Samba, this relied on mapping a Samba user to a Unix
user in /etc/passwd. When you run Samba as an AD DC, you do not do
this, you make your windows user (stored in AD) a Unix user by either
idmap.ldb on a DC (this is done automatically) or by adding a uidNumber
attribute to the user.
