NAME
       idmap_tdb - Samba's idmap_tdb Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION
       The idmap_tdb plugin is the default backend used by winbindd for
       storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables.

       In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating
       backend: This means that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in
       order to create new mappings.

IDMAP OPTIONS
       range = low - high
           Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the
           backend is authoritative.

EXAMPLES
       This example shows how tdb is used as the default idmap backend. This
       configured range is used for uid and gid allocation.

                [global]
                # "backend = tdb" is redundant here since it is the default
                idmap config * : backend = tdb
                idmap config * : range = 1000000-2000000
