That's what is explained in https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html

The chapters you should be looking for are

  https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-home

  E.g. this setting in /etc/nsswitch.conf would do the trick if you're
  the only user (but careful with sshd!):

Or perhaps

  https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-mapping-nsswitch-desc

  Set "db_home: desc" and change the description field in your SAM
  according to the above document.


HTH,
Corinna
