idmap_tdb - Man Page

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​.

range = low - high

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

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​.
