That's not right. But setting up SSH in a domain environment is problematic.
You'd need an /etc/passwd file with one line mentioning local cyg_server
account.
Try
mkpasswd -l | grep cyg_server
or, perhaps,
getent -w passwd cyg_server
Sorry, I don't have AD on hand right now, can't help with tests.

That's expected, and as far as I know unavoidable. Please see above for a
workaround.
