Microsoft Windows domain security systems generate the user and group security identifier (SID) as part
of the process of creation of an account. Windows does not have a concept of the UNIX UID or a GID, rather
it has its own type of security descriptor. When Samba is used as a Domain Controller, it provides a method
of producing a unique SID for each user and group. Samba generates a machine and a domain SID to which it
adds a relative identifier (RID) that is calculated algorithmically from a base value that can be specified
