[Samba] SAMBA using existing users and passwords on Linux

Hello everyone.
I'm back because I decided to follow your advice and deploy the system
using a new version of SAMBA with encrypted passwords.
I added the SAMBA server in the AD domain without any problems and I am
already accessing the shares with AD users.
However I have a new problem for which I need help.
When I try to access SAMBA shares with local Linux users, it is necessary
to include the name of the Linux server when passing the local user.
For example if I try to access like this, it doesn't work, it gives an
invalid user error

net use \\host\share /U:localuser

To work the command must be like this:

net use \\host\share /U:host\localuser

What it seems to me is that SAMBA does not authenticate on the local
machine, only in AD.
Is there a way to get SAMBA to authenticate to AD and on the local machine?
