IDMAP_NSS(1M) System Administration tools IDMAP_NSS(1M)NAMEidmap_nss - Samba's idmap_nss Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_nss plugin provides a means to map Unix users and groups to
Windows accounts and obseletes the "winbind trusted domains only"
smb.conf option. This provides a simple means of ensuring that the SID
for a Unix user named jsmith is reported as the one assigned to
DOMAIN\jsmith which is necessary for reporting ACLs on files and
printers stored on a Samba member server.
EXAMPLES
This example shows how to use idmap_nss to check the local accounts for
its own domain while using allocation to create new mappings for
trusted domains
[global]
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
idmap config SAMBA : backend = nss
idmap config SAMBA : range = 1000-999999
AUTHOR
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.

NOTES
Source code for Samba is available in the SUNWsmbaS package.
Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from
the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to
browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line
documentation. The service runs on software loopback network
interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in
browser will access the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name
and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT case
the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable
only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
