8         The idmap backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
9         varying backends to store SID/uid/gid mapping tables.  This
10         option is mutually exclusive with the newer and more flexible
11         <smbconfoption name="idmap domains"/> parameter. The main difference
12         between the &quot;idmap backend&quot; and the &quot;idmap domains&quot;
13         is that the former only allows one backend for all domains while the
14         latter supports configuring backends on a per domain basis.
