NAME¶
idmap_nss - Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION¶
The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups to Windows
accounts and obsoletes the "winbind trusted domains only" smb.conf
option. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID for a Unix user
named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to DOMAIN\jsmith which is
necessary for reporting ACLs on files and printers stored on a Samba member
server.
EXAMPLES¶
This example shows how to use idmap_nss to check the local accounts for its own
domain while using allocation to create new mappings for trusted domains
[global]
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
idmap config SAMBA : backend = nss
idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999
