NAME¶
idmap_autorid - Samba's idmap_autorid Backend for WinbindDESCRIPTION¶
The idmap_autorid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs that is more deterministic than idmap_tdb and easier to configure than idmap_rid. The module works similar to idmap_rid, but it automatically configures the range to be used for each domain, so there is no need to specify a specific range for each domain in the forest, the only configuration that is needed is the range of uid/gids that shall be used for user/group mappings and an optional size of the ranges to be used. The mappings of which domain is mapped to which range is stored in autorid.tdb, thus you should backup this database regularly. Due to the algorithm being used, it is the module that is most easy to use as it only requires a minimal configuration.IDMAP OPTIONS¶
rangesize = numberofidsperdomainDefines the number of uids/gids available per domain
range. The minimum needed value is 2000. SIDs with RIDs larger than this value
will be mapped into extension ranges depending upon number of available
ranges. If the autorid backend runs out of available ranges, mapping requests
for new domains (or new extension ranges for domains already known) are
ignored and the corresponding map is discarded.
Example: with rangesize set to 10000, users/groups with a RID up to 10000 will
be put into the first range for the domain. When attempting to map the an
object with a RID of 25000, an extension range will be allocated that will
then be used to map all RIDs from 20000-29999.
One range will be used for local users and groups and for non-domain well-known
SIDs like Everyone (S-1-1-0) or Creator Owner (S-1-3-0). A chosen list of
well-known SIDs will be preallocated on first start to create deterministic
mappings for those.
Thus the number of local users and groups that can be created is limited by this
option as well. If you plan to create a large amount of local users or groups,
you will need set this parameter accordingly.
The default value is 100000.
read only = [ yes | no ]
Turn the module into read-only mode. No new ranges will
be allocated nor will new mappings be created in the idmap pool. Defaults to
no.
ignore builtin = [ yes | no ]
Ignore any mapping requests for the BUILTIN domain.
Defaults to no.
THE MAPPING FORMULAS¶
The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way:ID = REDUCED RID + IDMAP RANGE LOW VALUE + RANGE NUMBER * RANGE SIZE
RID = (ID - LOW ID) % RANGE SIZE + DOMAIN RANGE INDEX * RANGE SIZE
EXAMPLES¶
This example shows you the minimal configuration that will work for the principal domain and 19 trusted domains / range extensions.[global] security = ads workgroup = CUSTOMER realm = CUSTOMER.COM idmap config * : backend = autorid idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
[global] security = ads workgroup = CUSTOMER realm = CUSTOMER.COM idmap config * : backend = autorid idmap config * : range = 1000000-19999999 idmap config * : rangesize = 1000000 idmap config TRUSTED : backend = ad idmap config TRUSTED : range = 50000 - 99999 idmap config TRUSTED : schema_mode = sfu
