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. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the
SID for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
DOMAIN\jsmith 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 obtain the local account
ID's for its own domain (SAMBA) from NSS, whilst allocating new
mappings for the default domain (*) and any trusted domains.

[global]
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999

idmap config SAMBA : backend = nss
idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999
