DESCRIPTION

The idmap_hash plugin implements a hashing algorithm used to map SIDs for domain users and groups to 31-bit uids and gids, respectively. This plugin also implements the nss_info API and can be used to support a local name mapping files if enabled via the "winbind normalize names" and "winbind nss info" parameters in smb.conf.

IDMAP OPTIONS

name_map

Specifies the absolute path to the name mapping file used by the nss_info API. Entries in the file are of the form "unix name = qualified domain name". Mapping of both user and group names is supported.

EXAMPLES

The following example utilizes the idmap_hash plugin for the idmap and nss_info information.

	[global]
	idmap config * : backend = hash
	idmap config * : range = 1000-4000000000

	winbind nss info = hash
	winbind normalize names = yes
	idmap_hash:name_map = /etc/samba/name_map.cfg
