idmap_tdb - Samba's idmap_tdb Backend for Winbind
Contents
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.
Examples
This example shows how tdb is used as 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
Idmap Options
range = low - high
Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is authoritative.
