16 <refpurpose>Samba's idmap_autorid Backend for Winbind</refpurpose>
20 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
21 <para>The idmap_autorid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic
22 mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs that is more deterministic
23 than idmap_tdb and easier to configure than idmap_rid.</para>
24 <para>The module works similar to idmap_rid, but it automatically
25 configures the range to be used for each domain, so there is no need
26 to specify a specific range for each domain in the forest, the only
27 configuration that is needed is the range of uid/gids that shall
28 be used for user/group mappings and an optional size of the ranges
30 <para>The mappings of which domain is mapped to which range is stored
31 in autorid.tdb, thus you should backup this database regularly.</para>
32 <para>Due to the algorithm being used, it is the module that is
33 most easy to use as it only requires a minimal configuration.</para>
37 <title>IDMAP OPTIONS</title>
41 <term>rangesize = numberofidsperdomain</term>
43 Defines the number of uids/gids available per
44 domain range. The minimum needed value is 2000.
45 SIDs with RIDs larger than this value will be mapped
46 into extension ranges depending upon number of available
47 ranges. If the autorid backend runs out of available
48 ranges, mapping requests for new domains (or new
49 extension ranges for domains already known) are ignored
50 and the corresponding map is discarded.
53 Example: with rangesize set to 10000, users/groups with
54 a RID up to 10000 will be put into the first range for the
55 domain. When attempting to map the an object with a RID
56 of 25000, an extension range will be allocated that
57 will then be used to map all RIDs from 20000-29999.
59 <para>One range will be used for local users and groups and for
60 non-domain well-known SIDs like Everyone (S-1-1-0) or Creator Owner (S-1-3-0).
61 A chosen list of well-known SIDs will be preallocated on first start
62 to create deterministic mappings for those.</para>
64 Thus the number of local users and groups that can be created is
65 limited by this option as well. If you plan to create a large amount
66 of local users or groups, you will need set this parameter accordingly.
68 <para>The default value is 100000.</para>
72 <term>read only = [ yes | no ]</term>
73 <listitem><para>Turn the module into read-only mode. No new ranges will be allocated
74 nor will new mappings be created in the idmap pool. Defaults to no.</para>
78 <term>ignore builtin = [ yes | no ]</term>
79 <listitem><para>Ignore any mapping requests for the BUILTIN domain.
80 Defaults to no.</para>
87 <title>THE MAPPING FORMULAS</title>
89 The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way:
91 ID = REDUCED RID + IDMAP RANGE LOW VALUE + RANGE NUMBER * RANGE SIZE
93 where REDUCED RID = RID % RANGE_SIZE
94 and a DOMAIN RANGE INDEX = RID / RANGE_SIZE is used together with the
95 domain sid to determine the RANGE NUMBER (stored in the database).
98 Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a
99 given Unix ID is this:
101 RID = (ID - LOW ID) % RANGE SIZE + DOMAIN RANGE INDEX * RANGE SIZE
103 Where the DOMAIN RANGE INDEX is retrieved from the database along with the
104 domain sid by the RANGE NUMBER = (ID - LOW ID) / RANGE SIZE .
109 <title>EXAMPLES</title>
111 This example shows you the minimal configuration that will
112 work for the principal domain and 19 trusted domains / range
122 idmap config * : backend = autorid
123 idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
128 This example shows how to configure idmap_autorid as default
129 for all domains with a potentially large amount of users
130 plus a specific configuration for a trusted domain
131 that uses the SFU mapping scheme. Please note that idmap
132 ranges and sfu ranges are not allowed to overlap.
141 idmap config * : backend = autorid
142 idmap config * : range = 1000000-19999999
143 idmap config * : rangesize = 1000000
145 idmap config TRUSTED : backend = ad
146 idmap config TRUSTED : range = 50000 - 99999
147 idmap config TRUSTED : schema_mode = sfu

156 The original Samba software and related utilities
157 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
158 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
159 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
