It's possible but it gets tricky, and because each local account will have
a different SID, authorization becomes messy. Microsoft have made this
difficult unless you deploy Active Directory or a compatible technology.

If you want an alternative to Active Directory that runs on Linux, you
could try our XAD product:

There are academic discounts available.

There is also the Samba4 Technology Preview.
