NAME

       idmap_tdb - Samba's idmap_tdb Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION

       The idmap_tdb plugin is the default backend used by winbindd for
       storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables and implements both the "idmap" and
       "idmap alloc" APIs.

IDMAP OPTIONS

       range = low - high
           Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the
           backend is authoritative. Note that the range commonly matches the
           allocation range due to the fact that the same backend will store
           and retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping entries. If the parameter is
           absent, Winbind fail over to use the "idmap uid" and "idmap gid"
           options from smb.conf.

IDMAP ALLOC OPTIONS

       range = low - high
           Defines the available matching uid and gid range from which
           winbindd can allocate for users and groups. If the parameter is
           absent, Winbind fail over to use the "idmap uid" and "idmap gid"
           options from smb.conf.

EXAMPLES

       The following example is equivalent to the pre-3.0.25 default idmap
       configuration using the "idmap backend = tdb" setting.

                [global]
                    idmap domains = ALLDOMAINS
                    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:default = yes
                    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:backend = tdb
                    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:range   = 10000 - 50000

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