PDB_ODSAM(8)                                                                                    PDB_ODSAM(8)



NAME
       pdb_odsam - Open Directory account information database for smbd

SYNOPSIS
       The  pdb_odsam  plugin is the default account information database backend used on Mac OS X. It makes
       users and groups record from Open Directory available to Samba.


       idmap_odsam should always be used in conjunction with the odsam passdb backend.


OPTIONS
       odsam: map guest to guest = BOOL
              If this is true (the default), pdb_odsam map the literal username "guest"  to  the  configured
              guest  account.  This  makes  "guest"  an alias for the configured guest account regardless of
              whether an account named "guest" exists or not.


       odsam: msglevel = LEVEL
              LEVEL is the integer log level at which pdb_odsam should emit log messages.  The  lower  LEVEL
              is, the more verbose the log messages.


       odsam: traceall = BOOL
              If this is true, pdb_odsam will emit log messages for all Open Directory calls. If it is false
              (the default), it will only log errors.


EXAMPLES
            [global]
                idmap domain = default
                idmap config default:default = yes
                idmap config default:backend = odsam

                idmap alloc backend = odsam

                passdb backend = odsam

                odsam: msglevel = 0    # Log at debugging levels
                odsam: traceall = no   # Do not trace Open Directory calls



BUGS
       Please report bugs to Apple.
