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

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