object class IETF / IANA

1.3.6.1.1.1.2.0

posixAccount

The auxiliary class that turns a directory entry into a Unix login: uidNumber, gidNumber, homeDirectory, and a login name. Auxiliary is the word that matters; you hang it on a person entry like inetOrgPerson rather than using it alone. This is the class SSSD reads to answer getpwnam.
