An Active Directory user object is considered to be Unix-enabled when it has the following Unix user attributes assigned: UID Number, Primary GID Number, Home Directory and Login Shell.

Please refer to the Authentication Services user documentation for more information on defining these additional settings using PowerShell cmdlets.
Once enabled for Unix, you can log on to the host with that Active Directory user's log on name and password.
