8 The idmap backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
9 varying backends to store SID/uid/gid mapping tables. This
10 option is mutually exclusive with the newer and more flexible
11 <smbconfoption name="idmap domains"/> parameter. The main difference
12 between the &quot;idmap backend&quot; and the &quot;idmap domains&quot;
13 is that the former only allows one backend for all domains while the
14 latter supports configuring backends on a per domain basis.
