IDMAP_NSS(8)


NAME

  idmap_nss - Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind


DESCRIPTION

  The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups to
  Windows accounts and obseletes the "winbind trusted domains only" smb.conf
  option. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID for a Unix
  user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to DOMAINmith which is
  necessary for reporting ACLs on files and printers stored on a Samba member
  server.


EXAMPLES

  This example shows how to use idmap_nss to check the local accounts for its
  own domain while using allocation to create new mappings for trusted
  domains

	  [global]
	      idmap domains = SAMBA TRUSTEDDOMAINS

	      idmap config SAMBA:backend  = nss
	      idmap config SAMBA:readonly = yes

	      idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:default = yes
	      idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:backend = tdb
	      idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:range	  = 10000 - 50000

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