NAME

       idmap_nss - Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION

       The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups to Windows accounts.
       This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID for a Unix user named jsmith is
       reported as the one assigned to DOMAIN\jsmith which is necessary for reporting ACLs on
       files and printers stored on a Samba member server.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows how to use idmap_nss to obtain the local account ID's for its own
       domain (SAMBA) from NSS, whilst allocating new mappings for the default domain (*) and any
       trusted domains.

                [global]
                idmap config * : backend = tdb
                idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999

                idmap config SAMBA : backend  = nss
                idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999

       is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux
       kernel is developed.
