NAME¶
idmap_hash - Samba's idmap_hash Backend for Winbind
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
