samba - Oct 2018 - Add UNIX attributes to user object automatically

I have user objects. They need UNIX attributes. Currently I have to set these
attributes manually. Is there a way to automatically add a UNIX uid and gid to a
user object in Samba?
RFC 2307 has been setup and is functional. NIX Extensions are installed as well.

There is no way to do this automatically, you could use the winbind
'rid' backend, this will allocate a Unix ID from the users RID.

You can use samba-tool to create your users with rfc2307 attributes,
but you need to track the uidNumber & gidNumber Attributes manually.
