NAME
idmap_rid − Samba´s idmap_rid Backend for
Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic
mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is
required in this case as the mapping is
deterministic.
IDMAP
OPTIONS
range = low − high
Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter. If algorithmically determined UID or GID fall outside the range, they are ignored and the corresponding map is discarded. It is intended as a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps between local and remotely defined IDs.
base_rid = INTEGER
Defines the base integer used to build SIDs out of a UID or a GID, and to rebase the UID or GID to be obtained from a SID. This means SIDs with a RID less than the base rid are filtered. The default is not to restrict the allowed rids at all, i.e. a base_rid value of 0. A good value for the base_rid can be 1000, since user RIDs by default start at 1000 (512 hexadecimal).
Use of this parameter is deprecated.
THE MAPPING
FORMULAS
The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this
way:
ID = RID − BASE_RID + LOW_RANGE_ID. |
Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a given Unix ID is this:
RID = ID + BASE_RID − LOW_RANGE_ID.
EXAMPLES
This example shows how to configure two domains with
idmap_rid, the principal domain and a trusted domain,
leaving the default id mapping scheme at tdb. The example
also demonstrates the use of the base_rid parameter for the
trusted domain.

idmap uid = 1000000−1999999 | |
idmap gid = 1000000−1999999 | |
idmap config MAIN : backend = rid | |
idmap config MAIN : range = 10000 − 49999 | |
idmap config TRUSTED : backend = rid | |
idmap config TRUSTED : range = 50000 − 99999 | |
idmap config TRUSTED : base_rid = 1000 |

The original Samba software and related utilities were
created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the
Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is
developed.
