Linux, Windows AD domain, and IDs

You have a CentOS (for example) workstation that is a member of a
Windows AD domain courtesy of modified smb.conf and krb5.conf files.
There are, thus, no local user accounts on the linux workstation.
There is a network application that benefits most (maybe even
requires) the user's employee ID as their linux workstation uid.
Thus, if I log in, my domain username might be scott12. My employee
ID might be se123456. If I log into the linux workstation, I'm
going to log in as scott12 along with providing my password. I type
id at the shell, and am given something like 100001 (scott12) for the
user. How can I manage to make the id [also] equal to se123456 for
user scott12 without breaking anything?
Or, if not possible, is there any other option other than to create a
local account as se123456 and likely migrate the user's world to that
new local account? I'd rather not.
Thanks for any leads.
Scott
