NAME

       idmap_rid - Samba's idmap_rid Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION

       The  idmap_rid  backend provides a way to use an algorithmic mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs. No database is required in this case
       as the mapping is deterministic.

IDMAP OPTIONS

       range = low - high
	  Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter. If  algo-
	  rithmically  determined  UID or GID fall outside the range, they are ignored and the corresponding map is discarded. It is intended as a
	  way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps between local and remotely defined IDs.

       base_rid = INTEGER
	  Defines the base integer used to build SIDs out of an UID or a GID, and to rebase the UID or GID to be obtained from a SID. User RIDs by
	  default start at 1000 (512 hexadecimal), this means a good value for base_rid can be 1000 as the resulting ID is calculated this way: ID
	  = RID - BASE_RID + LOW RANGE ID.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows how to configure 2 domains with idmap_rid

	    [global]
		idmap domains = MAIN TRUSTED1

		idmap config MAIN:backend      = rid
		idmap config MAIN:base_rid     = 1000
		idmap config MAIN:range        = 10000 - 49999

		idmap config TRUSTED1:backend  = rid
		idmap config TRUSTED1:base_rid = 1000
		idmap config TRUSTED1:range    = 50000 - 99999

       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.
