NAME

6       idmap_adex - Samba´s idmap_adex Backend for Winbind
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The idmap_adex plugin provides a way for Winbind to read id mappings
10       from an AD server that uses RFC2307 schema extensions. This module
11       implements both the idmap and nss_info APIs and supports domain trustes
12       as well as two-way cross forest trusts. It is a read-only plugin
13       requiring that the administrator provide mappings in advance by adding
14       the POSIX attribute information to the users and groups objects in AD.
15       The most common means of doing this is using "Identity Services for
16       Unix" support on Windows 2003 R2 and later.
17
18       Note that you must add the uidNumber, gidNumber, and uid attributes to
19       the partial attribute set of the forest global catalog servers. This
20       can be done using the Active Directory Schema Management MMC plugin
21       (schmmgmt.dll).
22

NSS_INFO

24       The nss_info plugin supports reading the unixHomeDirectory, gidNumber,
25       loginShell, and uidNumber attributes from the user object and the
26       gidNumber attribute from the group object to fill in information
27       required by the libc getpwnam() and getgrnam() family of functions.
28       Group membership is filled in according to the Windows group membership
29       and not the msSFU30PosixMember attribute.
30
31       Username aliases are implement by setting the uid attribute on the user
32       object. While group name aliases are implemented by reading the
33       displayname attribute from the group object.
34

EXAMPLES

36       The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings and NSS data
37       from our principal and trusted AD domains.
38
39                [global]
40                idmap backend = adex
41                idmap uid = 1000-4000000000
42                idmap gid = 1000-4000000000
43
44                winbind nss info = adex
45                winbind normalize names = yes

AUTHOR

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