[lxc-users] setgid error inside container

I figured this out. LXD could use the range I listed below in subuid and subgid, but the container itself was still limited to 65000ish ID's. I just set security.idmap.isolated and security.idmap.size in my profile and restarted my containers and I was able to log in with my network credentials.

I have all my accounts in LDAP and I've connected my container to my infrastruture. It can see users, authenticate with LDAP, Kerberos, etc, I just can't login due to the uid/gid mapping. I'm on LXD 2.15, all my end users have uid's/gid's between 100,000 and 199,999. The LXD container is running under a local user called "lxduser" on the host.
