NAME
idmap_ad - Samba's idmap_ad Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_ad plugin provides a way for Winbind to read id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307/SFU schema extensions. This module implements only the "idmap" API, and is READONLY. Mappings must be provided in advance by the administrator by adding the uidNumber attributes for users and gidNumber attributes for groups in the AD. Winbind will only map users that have a uidNumber and whose primary group have a gidNumber attribute set. It is however recommended that all groups in use have gidNumber attributes assigned, otherwise they are not working.
Currently, the ad backend does not work as the default idmap backend, but one has to configure it separately for each domain for which one wants to use it, using disjoint ranges. One usually needs to configure a writeable default idmap range, using for example the tdb or ldap backend, in order to be able to map the BUILTIN sids and possibly other trusted domains. The writeable default config is also needed in order to be able to create group mappings. This catch-all default idmap configuration should have a range that is disjoint from any explicitly configured domain with idmap backend ad. See the example below.
IDMAP OPTIONS
range = low - high
schema_mode = <rfc2307 | sfu | sfu20>
Default: rfc2307
unix_primary_group = yes/no
Default: no
unix_nss_info = yes/no
Default: no
all_groupmem = yes/no
Default: no
deny ous
Default: none
allow ous
If both allow ous and deny ous are set, deny ous is evaluated first, then allow ous is looked at. If an AD object matches neither, it is denied.
Default: none
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings from our principal and trusted AD domains. If trusted domains are present id conflicts must be resolved beforehand, there is no guarantee on the order conflicting mappings would be resolved at this point. This example also shows how to leave a small non conflicting range for local id allocation that may be used in internal backends like BUILTIN.

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