Okay, I understand what you really want is to map Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs. I don't think the ZFS/CIFS OpenSolaris service allows interactive (one shot?) mappings like you explain in your previous posting.
What you might do instead is to add attributes to either the active directory server used to authenticate your users on the Windows side or to an LDAP directory server on the Unix side or simply to add static rules to map ids. Have a look at the idmap manual page for details.
This document is also explaining how that service works:

Database in which to store local name-based ID mapping rules. The contents of the database are private. The database should not be
accessed or modified directly.
/var/run/idmap/idmap.db
Database in which to cache ID mappings that are generated by ephemeral ID mapping and by name-based mapping. The contents of the data-
base are private. The database should not be accessed or modified directly.

NOTES
The idmapd service is managed by the service management facility (SMF). The service identifier for the idmapd service is svc:/system/idmap.
Use the svcadm command to perform administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting the service. These
actions require the solaris.smf.manage.idmap authorization. Use the svcs command to query the service's status.
The functionality of this daemon might change in a future release of the Solaris operating system.
