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 "idmap backend" and the "idmap domains"
13 is that the former only allows one backend for all domains while the
14 latter supports configuring backends on a per domain basis.
