IDMAP_TDB(8)                                                                                    IDMAP_TDB(8)



NAME
       idmap_tdb - Samba's idmap_tdb Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION
       The  idmap_tdb  plugin is the default backend used by winbindd for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables
       and implements both the "idmap" and "idmap alloc" APIs.

IDMAP OPTIONS
       range = low - high
          Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is authoritative. Note that
          the  range  commonly matches the allocation range due to the fact that the same backend will store
          and retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping entries. If the parameter is absent, Winbind fail over to use the
          "idmap uid" and "idmap gid" options from smb.conf.

IDMAP ALLOC OPTIONS
       range = low - high
          Defines  the  available  matching uid and gid range from which winbindd can allocate for users and
          groups. If the parameter is absent, Winbind fail over to use  the  "idmap  uid"  and  "idmap  gid"
          options from smb.conf.

EXAMPLES
       The  following  example  is equivalent to the pre-3.0.25 default idmap configuration using the "idmap
       backend = tdb" setting.


            [global]
                idmap domains = ALLDOMAINS
                idmap config ALLDOMAINS:default = yes
                idmap config ALLDOMAINS:backend = tdb
                idmap config ALLDOMAINS:range   = 10000 - 50000

                idmap alloc backend = tdb
                idmap alloc config:range = 10000 - 50000
