16 <refpurpose>Samba's idmap_rid Backend for Winbind</refpurpose>
20 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
21 <para>The idmap_rid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic
22 mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required
23 in this case as the mapping is deterministic.</para>
27 <title>IDMAP OPTIONS</title>
31 <term>range = low - high</term>
33 Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the
34 backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter.
35 If algorithmically determined UID or GID fall outside the
36 range, they are ignored and the corresponding map is discarded.
37 It is intended as a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps
38 between local and remotely defined IDs.
43 <term>base_rid = INTEGER</term>
45 Defines the base integer used to build SIDs out of a UID or a GID,
46 and to rebase the UID or GID to be obtained from a SID.
47 This means SIDs with a RID less than the base rid are filtered.
48 The default is not to restrict the allowed rids at all,
49 i.e. a base_rid value of 0.
50 A good value for the base_rid can be 1000, since user
51 RIDs by default start at 1000 (512 hexadecimal).
54 Use of this parameter is deprecated.
61 <title>THE MAPPING FORMULAS</title>
63 The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way:
65 ID = RID - BASE_RID + LOW_RANGE_ID.
69 Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a
70 given Unix ID is this:
72 RID = ID + BASE_RID - LOW_RANGE_ID.
78 <title>EXAMPLES</title>
80 This example shows how to configure two domains with idmap_rid,
81 the principal domain and a trusted domain, leaving the default
82 id mapping scheme at tdb. The example also demonstrates the use
83 of the base_rid parameter for the trusted domain.
92 idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
93 idmap gid = 1000000-1999999
95 idmap config MAIN : backend = rid
96 idmap config MAIN : range = 10000 - 49999
98 idmap config TRUSTED : backend = rid
99 idmap config TRUSTED : range = 50000 - 99999
100 idmap config TRUSTED : base_rid = 1000

108 The original Samba software and related utilities
109 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
110 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
111 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
