16 <refpurpose>Samba's idmap_adex Backend for Winbind</refpurpose>
20 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
22 The idmap_adex plugin provides a way for Winbind to read
23 id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307 schema
24 extensions. This module implements both the idmap and nss_info
25 APIs and supports domain trustes as well as two-way cross
26 forest trusts. It is a read-only plugin requiring that the
27 administrator provide mappings in advance by adding the
28 POSIX attribute information to the users and groups objects
29 in AD. The most common means of doing this is using "Identity
30 Services for Unix" support on Windows 2003 R2 and later.
34 Note that you must add the uidNumber, gidNumber, and uid
35 attributes to the partial attribute set of the forest global
36 catalog servers. This can be done using the Active Directory Schema
37 Management MMC plugin (schmmgmt.dll).
42 <title>NSS_INFO</title>
44 The nss_info plugin supports reading the unixHomeDirectory,
45 gidNumber, loginShell, and uidNumber attributes from the user
46 object and the gidNumber attribute from the group object to
47 fill in information required by the libc getpwnam() and
48 getgrnam() family of functions. Group membership is filled in
49 according to the Windows group membership and not the
50 msSFU30PosixMember attribute.
54 Username aliases are implement by setting the uid attribute
55 on the user object. While group name aliases are implemented
56 by reading the displayname attribute from the group object.
61 <title>EXAMPLES</title>
63 The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings and NSS data
64 from our principal and trusted AD domains.
69 idmap config * : backend = adex
70 idmap config * : range = 1000-4000000000
72 winbind nss info = adex
73 winbind normalize names = yes
81 The original Samba software and related utilities
82 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
83 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
84 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
