NAME

       regex - libnfsidmap plugin using regex based mapping

SYNOPSIS

       Plugin for libnfsidmap.  Uses regex to map NFSv4 names to and from ids.

DESCRIPTION

       The  regex plugin parses NFSv4 user and groups names using regex to extract the local user
       or group. NFSv4 names are created by adding constant strings before and  after  the  local
       user and group names.

       It additionally supports an additional configuration file for static group mappings.

CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration for the plugin is in a new [Regex] section in /etc/idmapd.conf that may
       contain lines of the form

         variable = value

       The recognized variables are as follows:

   [Regex] section variables
       User-Regex
              Regular expression that extracts the local user name from an  NFSv4  name.  Several
              expressions can be concatenated with '|'. The first match will be used.

       Group-Regex
              Regular  expression  that extracts the local group name from an NFSv4 name. Several
              expressions can be concatenated with '|'. The first match will be used.

       Prepend-Before-User
              Constant string to put before a local user name when building an NFSv4 name.

              (Default: none)

       Append-After-User
              Constant string to put after a local user name when building an NFSv4 name.

              (Default: none)

       Prepend-Before-Group
              Constant string to put before a local group name when building an NFSv4 name.

              (Default: none)

       Append-After-Group
              Constant string to put before a local group name when building an NFSv4 name.

              (Default: none)

       Group-Name-Prefix
              Constant string that is prepended to a local group name when converting  it  to  an
              NFSv4 name. If an NFSv4 group name has this prefix it is removed when converting it
              to a local group name. IS not applied if a static group mapping matches.

              This allows to organize the group name space in a central directory  that  is  used
              for  a central NFS4 server and use short group names in the local directory used in
              organizational units.

       Group-Name-No-Prefix-Regex
              Regular expression to exclude groups from adding and removing  the  prefix  set  by
              Group-Name-Prefix.  The  regular  expression  must  match both the remote and local
              group names.

              (Default: none)

       Group-Map-File
              File name of an INI style file containing static group mappings.

              (Default: /etc/idmapd.conf)

       Group-Map-Section
              Section in the static group mapping file that contains the mappings. The name  must
              be all lower case. The section name in the file is case sensitive.

              (Default: groups)

STATIC MAPPING

       The  Group-Map-File  and  Group-Map-Section  variables  can  be  used  to define a section
       containing mappings of the form

         nfs4 group = local group

       The default is to have a [Groups] section in the /etc/idmapd.conf file.

       For both the NFS4 and local group name the Group-Name-Prefix  prefix  is  not  applied  or
       removed.

EXAMPLES

       An example [Regex] and [Groups] section in the /etc/idmapd.conf file:

       [Regex]
       User-Regex = ^EXAMPLE\([^@]+)@EXAMPLE.ORG$
       Group-Regex = ^([^@]+)@EXAMPLE.ORG@EXAMPLE.ORG$|^EXAMPLE\([^@]+)@EXAMPLE.ORG$
       Prepend-Before-User = EXAMPLE
       Append-After-User = @EXAMPLE.ORG
       #Prepend-Before-Group =
       Append-After-Group = @example.org@example.org
       Group-Name-Prefix = sales-
       Group-Name-No-Prefix-Regex = -group$

       [Groups]
       domain users = users
