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.

       In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating backend: This means
       that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in order to create new mappings.

IDMAP OPTIONS

       range = low - high
           Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is
           authoritative.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows how tdb is used as a the default idmap backend. This configured range
       is used for uid and gid allocation.

                [global]
                # "backend = tdb" is redundant here since it is the default
                idmap config * : backend = tdb
                idmap config * : range = 1000000-2000000
