The sss plugin requires the NSS Responder to be enabled in sssd.

The attribute “use_fully_qualified_names” must be enabled on all domains (NFSv4 clients expect a fully qualified name to be sent on the wire).

Examples

The following example shows a minimal idmapd.conf which makes use of the sss plugin.

[General]
Verbosity = 2
# domain must be synced between NFSv4 server and clients
# Solaris/Illumos/AIX use "localdomain" as default!
Domain = default
[Mapping]
Nobody-User = nfsnobody
Nobody-Group = nfsnobody
[Translation]
Method = sss
