NAME
idmap_adex − Samba´s idmap_adex Backend for
Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_adex plugin provides a way for Winbind to read id
mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307 schema
extensions. This module implements both the idmap and
nss_info APIs and supports domain trustes as well as
two−way cross forest trusts. It is a read−only
plugin requiring that the administrator provide mappings in
advance by adding the POSIX attribute information to the
users and groups objects in AD. The most common means of
doing this is using "Identity Services for Unix"
support on Windows 2003 R2 and later.
Note that you must add the uidNumber, gidNumber, and uid attributes to the partial attribute set of the forest global catalog servers. This can be done using the Active Directory Schema Management MMC plugin (schmmgmt.dll).
NSS_INFO
The nss_info plugin supports reading the unixHomeDirectory,
gidNumber, loginShell, and uidNumber attributes from the
user object and the gidNumber attribute from the group
object to fill in information required by the libc
getpwnam() and getgrnam() family of functions. Group
membership is filled in according to the Windows group
membership and not the msSFU30PosixMember
attribute.
Username aliases are implement by setting the uid attribute on the user object. While group name aliases are implemented by reading the displayname attribute from the group object.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings and
NSS data from our principal and trusted AD
domains.
[global] |
||
idmap backend = adex |
||
idmap uid = 1000−4000000000 |
||
idmap gid = 1000−4000000000 |
||
winbind nss info = adex |
||
winbind normalize names = yes |
AUTHOR
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.
