NAME

idmap_rid - Samba's idmap_rid Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION

The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required in this case as the mapping is deterministic.

IDMAP OPTIONS

range = low - high

: Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter. If algorithmically determined UID or GID fall outside the range, they are ignored and the corresponding map is discarded. It is intended as a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps between local and remotely defined IDs.

base_rid = INTEGER

: Defines the base integer used to build SIDs out of a UID or a GID, and to rebase the UID or GID to be obtained from a SID. This means SIDs with a RID less than the base rid are filtered. The default is not to restrict the allowed rids at all, i.e. a base_rid value of 0. A good value for the base_rid can be 1000, since user RIDs by default start at 1000 (512 hexadecimal).
Use of this parameter is deprecated.

THE MAPPING FORMULAS

The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way:

                        ID = RID - BASE_RID + LOW_RANGE_ID.

Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a given Unix ID is this:

                        RID = ID + BASE_RID - LOW_RANGE_ID.

EXAMPLES

This example shows how to configure two domains with idmap_rid, the principal domain and a trusted domain, leaving the default id mapping scheme at tdb. The example also demonstrates the use of the base_rid parameter for the trusted domain.

        [global]
        security = domain
        workgroup = MAIN

        idmap backend = tdb
        idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
        idmap gid = 1000000-1999999

        idmap config MAIN : backend     = rid
        idmap config MAIN : range       = 10000 - 49999

        idmap config TRUSTED : backend  = rid
        idmap config TRUSTED : range    = 50000 - 99999
        idmap config TRUSTED : base_rid = 1000
