<para>
Every user in a Windows domain has a list of Security Identifiers, or
SIDs, associated with them. This includes:
</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>their own personal SID</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>the SID representing &ldquo;all users in the local domain&rdquo;</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>the SID representing &ldquo;Default&rdquo;</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>the SIDs for any Windows security groups that they are members of</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>
The user&rsquo;s personal SID is stored in the
<literal>objectSid</literal> property of their Active Directory entry.
Unfortunately, we have no way of retrieving the complete list of SIDs
associated with a user.
