Create login for local Windows user on MSSQL (linux docker)

Question

Is it possible to create a windows user login for MSSQL that runs as linux based docker image on the Windows PC (no Active Directory)?

CREATE LOGIN [PC-NAME\LocalUser] FROM WINDOWS

If yes, which configuration the docker image needs, to be able to do this? Currently I got the following error:

Windows NT user or group 'PC-NAME\LocalUser' not found. Check the name again.

@Eugene_Resnick Integrated Authentication is still not supported on SQL Server on Linux . You can create a new login and connect to it like a regular installation of SQL Server. In fact, we recommend at least changing the SA password after it was first provisioned.
