When using

correctly returns the group information, including the gid (1234), but
getent 1234
fails.
The length of the SID value when using the objectSid mapping really
matters. For the translation from objectSid to gid and uid it should
always just use the last bit only but for constructing the full SID from
the gid or uid the configured value is used.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
