First time you mentioned nslcd, but no matter, use:

map     group   uniqueMember       member

in nslcd.conf

This would be the preferred and Samba way of doing things, you have to
run winbind, so you might as well use it instead of any other external
programs (such as nslcd).

You probably don't, you might think you do, but there are probably
other ways of doing things. What are these other systems ?

Why ? , it is easier and faster (once you get used to it) to use a
terminal.

If you must use a gui, you are stuck with RSAT and if you move to
win10, you lose the Unix attributes tabs.
