NAME
       idmap_ldap - Samba's idmap_ldap Backend for Winbind

DESCRIPTION
       The idmap_ldap plugin provides a means for Winbind to store and
       retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping tables in an LDAP directory service. The
       module implements both the "idmap" and "idmap alloc" APIs.

IDMAP OPTIONS
       ldap_base_dn = DN
	   Defines the directory base suffix to use when searching for
	   SID/uid/gid mapping entries. If not defined, idmap_ldap will
	   default to using the "ldap idmap suffix" option from smb.conf.

       ldap_user_dn = DN
	   Defines the user DN to be used for authentication. If absent an
	   anonymous bind will be performed.

       ldap_url = ldap://server/
	   Specifies the LDAP server to use when searching for existing
	   SID/uid/gid map entries. If not defined, idmap_ldap will assume
	   that ldap://localhost/ should be used.

       range = low - high
	   Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the
	   backend is authoritative. Note that the range commonly matches the
	   allocation range due to the fact that the same backend will store
	   and retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping entries. If the parameter is
	   absent, Winbind fail over to use the "idmap uid" and "idmap gid"
	   options from smb.conf.

IDMAP ALLOC OPTIONS
       ldap_base_dn = DN
	   Defines the directory base suffix under which new SID/uid/gid
	   mapping entries should be stored. If not defined, idmap_ldap will
	   default to using the "ldap idmap suffix" option from smb.conf.

       ldap_user_dn = DN
	   Defines the user DN to be used for authentication. If absent an
	   anonymous bind will be performed.

       ldap_url = ldap://server/
	   Specifies the LDAP server to which modify/add/delete requests
	   should be sent. If not defined, idmap_ldap will assume that
	   ldap://localhost/ should be used.

       range = low - high
	   Defines the available matching uid and gid range from which
	   winbindd can allocate for users and groups. If the parameter is
	   absent, Winbind fail over to use the "idmap uid" and "idmap gid"
	   options from smb.conf.

EXAMPLES
       The follow sets of a LDAP configuration which uses a slave server
       running on localhost for fast fetching SID/gid/uid mappings, it implies
       correct configuration of referrals. The idmap alloc backend is pointed
       directly to the master to skip the referral (and consequent
       reconnection to the master) that the slave would return as allocation
       requires writing on the master.

		[global]
		    idmap domains = ALLDOMAINS
		    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:default	 = yes
		    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:backend	 = ldap
		    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:ldap_base_dn = ou=idmap,dc=example,dc=com
		    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:ldap_url	 = ldap://localhost/
		    idmap config ALLDOMAINS:range	 = 10000 - 50000

		    idmap alloc backend = ldap
		    idmap alloc config:ldap_base_dn = ou=idmap,dc=example,dc=com
		    idmap alloc config:ldap_url	    = ldap://master.example.com/
		    idmap alloc config:range	    = 10000 - 50000

NOTE
       In order to use authentication against ldap servers you may need to
       provide a DN and a password. To avoid exposing the password in plain
       text in the configuration file we store it into a security store. The
       "net idmap " command is used to store a secret for the DN specified in
       a specific idmap domain.
