The idmap_tdb2 plugin is a substitute for the default idmap_tdb backend used by winbindd for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables in clustered environments with Samba and CTDB\&.

174

.PP

175

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\&. The allocator can be provided by the idmap_tdb2 backend itself or by any other allocating backend like idmap_tdb or idmap_ldap\&. This is configured with the parameter

176

\fIidmap alloc backend\fR\&.

177

.PP

178

Note that in order for this (or any other allocating) backend to function at all, the default backend needs to be writeable\&. The ranges used for uid and gid allocation are the default ranges configured by "idmap uid" and "idmap gid"\&.

179

.PP

180

Furthermore, since there is only one global allocating backend responsible for all domains using writeable idmap backends, any explicitly configured domain with idmap backend tdb2 should have the same range as the default range, since it needs to use the global uid / gid allocator\&. See the example below\&.

Note that the script should cover the complete range of SIDs that can be passed in for SID to Unix ID mapping, since otherwise SIDs unmapped by the script might get mapped to IDs that had previously been mapped by the script\&.

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\&.
