IDMAP_NSS(8)                                                                                    IDMAP_NSS(8)



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 obseletes
       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 DOMAINjsmith 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 domains = SAMBA TRUSTEDDOMAINS

                idmap config SAMBA:backend  = nss
                idmap config SAMBA:readonly = yes

                idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:default = yes
                idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:backend = tdb
                idmap config TRUSTEDDOMAINS:range   = 10000 - 50000

                idmap alloc backend      = tdb
                idmap alloc config:range = 10000 - 50000
