23 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
24 The wbinfo program queries and returns information created and used by
26 the winbindd(8) daemon.
27 The winbindd(8) daemon must be configured and running for the wbinfo
29 program to be able to return information.
30
32 -a|--authenticate username%password
33 Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd(8). This checks both
34 authentication methods and reports its results.
35 Note
37 Do not be tempted to use this functionality for authentication
38 in third-party applications. Instead use ntlm_auth(1).
39 --allocate-gid
41 Get a new GID out of idmap
42 --allocate-uid
44 Get a new UID out of idmap
45 --all-domains
47 List all domains (trusted and own domain).
48 -c|--change-secret
50 Change the trust account password. May be used in conjunction with
51 domain in order to change interdomain trust account passwords.
52 --ccache-save username%password
54 Store user and password for ccache.
55 --change-user-password username
57 Change the password of a user. The old and new password will be
58 prompted.
59 --domain name
61 This parameter sets the domain on which any specified operations
62 will performed. If special domain name '.' is used to represent the
63 current domain to which winbindd(8) belongs. Currently only the -u,
64 and -g options honor this parameter.
65 -D|--domain-info domain
67 Show most of the info we have about the specified domain.
68 --dsgetdcname domain
70 Find a DC for a domain.
71 --gid-info gid
73 Get group info from gid.
74 --group-info user
76 Get group info for user.
77 -g|--domain-groups
79 This option will list all groups available in the Windows NT domain
80 for which the samba(7) daemon is operating in. Groups in all
81 trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does
82 not assign group ids to any groups that have not already been seen
83 by winbindd(8).
84 --get-auth-user
86 Print username and password used by winbindd(8) during session
87 setup to a domain controller. Username and password can be set
88 using --set-auth-user. Only available for root.
89 --getdcname domain
91 Get the DC name for the specified domain.
92 -G|--gid-to-sid gid
94 Try to convert a UNIX group id to a Windows NT SID. If the gid
95 specified does not refer to one within the idmap gid range then the
96 operation will fail.
97 -?
99 Print brief help overview.
100 -i|--user-info user
102 Get user info.
103 -I|--WINS-by-ip ip
105 The -I option queries winbindd(8) to send a node status request to
106 get the NetBIOS name associated with the IP address specified by
107 the ip parameter.
108 -K|--krb5auth username%password
110 Attempt to authenticate a user via Kerberos.
111 --lanman
113 Use lanman cryptography for user authentication.
114 -m|--trusted-domains
116 Produce a list of domains trusted by the Windows NT server
117 winbindd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does not
118 include the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain
119 Controller for.
120 -n|--name-to-sid name
122 The -n option queries winbindd(8) for the SID associated with the
123 name specified. Domain names can be specified before the user name
124 by using the winbind separator character. For example
125 CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the domain
126 CWDOM1. If no domain is specified then the domain used is the one
127 specified in the smb.conf(5)workgroup parameter.
128 -N|--WINS-by-name name
130 The -N option queries winbindd(8) to query the WINS server for the
131 IP address associated with the NetBIOS name specified by the name
132 parameter.
133 --ntlmv2
135 Use NTLMv2 cryptography for user authentication.
136 --online-status domain
138 Show whether domains are marked as online or offline. An optional
139 domain argument limits the output to the online status of a given
140 domain.
141 --own-domain
143 List own domain.
144 -p|--ping
146 Check whether winbindd(8) is still alive. Prints out either
147 'succeeded' or 'failed'.
148 -P|--ping-dc
150 Issue a no-effect command to our DC. This checks if our secure
151 channel connection to our domain controller is still alive. It has
152 much less impact than wbinfo -t.
153 -r|--user-groups username
155 Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids to which the user belongs.
156 This only works for users defined on a Domain Controller.
157 -R|--lookup-rids rid1, rid2, rid3...
159 Converts RIDs to names. Uses a comma separated list of rids.
160 -s|--sid-to-name sid
162 Use -s to resolve a SID to a name. This is the inverse of the -n
163 option above. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings in the
164 traditional Microsoft format. For example,
165 S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500.
166 --separator
168 Get the active winbind separator.
169 --set-auth-user username%password
171 Store username and password used by winbindd(8) during session
172 setup to a domain controller. This enables winbindd to operate in a
173 Windows 2000 domain with Restrict Anonymous turned on (a.k.a.
174 Permissions compatible with Windows 2000 servers only).
175 -S|--sid-to-uid sid
177 Convert a SID to a UNIX user id. If the SID does not correspond to
178 a UNIX user mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail.
179 --sid-aliases sid
181 Get SID aliases for a given SID.
182 --sid-to-fullname sid
184 Converts a SID to a full username (DOMAIN\username).
185 -t|--check-secret
187 Verify that the workstation trust account created when the Samba
188 server is added to the Windows NT domain is working. May be used in
189 conjunction with domain in order to verify interdomain trust
190 accounts.
191 -u|--domain-users
193 This option will list all users available in the Windows NT domain
194 for which the winbindd(8) daemon is operating in. Users in all
195 trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does
196 not assign user ids to any users that have not already been seen by
197 winbindd(8) .
198 --uid-info uid
200 Get user info for the user connected to user id UID.
201 --usage
203 Print brief help overview.
204 --user-domgroups sid
206 Get user domain groups.
207 --user-sids sid
209 Get user group SIDs for user.
210 -U|--uid-to-sid uid
212 Try to convert a UNIX user id to a Windows NT SID. If the uid
213 specified does not refer to one within the idmap range then the
214 operation will fail.
215 --verbose
217 Print additional information about the query results.
218 -Y|--sid-to-gid sid
220 Convert a SID to a UNIX group id. If the SID does not correspond to
221 a UNIX group mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail.
222 -V|--version
224 Prints the program version number.
225 -?|--help
227 Print a summary of command line options.
228
230 The wbinfo program returns 0 if the operation succeeded, or 1 if the
231 operation failed. If the winbindd(8) daemon is not working wbinfo will
232 always return failure.
233
235 This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.

238 winbindd(8) and ntlm_auth(1)

241 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
242 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
243 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
244 wbinfo and winbindd were written by Tim Potter.
246 The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The
248 conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander
249 Bokovoy.
