Right, are you using RCF2307 at all then? If yes, how did they populate those attributes?
AFAIK most admins do not know/care about RFC2307 so they leave sssd to do its mapping...

Both directories (AD & Samba) do know about the uid attribute

Most AD deployments of my customers have empty 'uid' attribute.
Changing this in enterprises with hundreds of domain controllers is a large
change involving discussion in various management boards.
=> use sAMAccountName as default with AD provider is recommended.
