AD with autoID mode to support NFSv4 Kerberos authentication

Need cross platform access (NFS and SMB) in an AD domain where the AD-LDS is not RFC2307 compliant. We need to be able to use AD with autoID mode to support NFSv4 Kerberos authentication. Using the kerberos ticket for IDMAP instead of UID is a useful alternative when RFC2307 compliance does not exist.
