2 id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307/SFU schema
3 extensions. This module implements only the "idmap"
4 API, and is READONLY. Mappings must be provided in advance
5 by the administrator by adding the posixAccount/posixGroup
6 classes and relative attribute/value pairs to the user and
7 group objects in the AD.</p><p>
8 Note that the idmap_ad module has changed considerably since
9 Samba versions 3.0 and 3.2.
10 Currently, the <em class="parameter"><code>ad</code></em> backend
11 does not work as the the default idmap backend, but one has
12 to configure it separately for each domain for which one wants
13 to use it, using disjoint ranges. One usually needs to configure
14 a writeable default idmap range, using for example the
15 <em class="parameter"><code>tdb</code></em> or <em class="parameter"><code>ldap</code></em>
16 backend, in order to be able to map the BUILTIN sids and
17 possibly other trusted domains. The writeable default config
18 is also needed in order to be able to create group mappings.
19 This catch-all default idmap configuration should have a range
20 that is disjoint from any explicitly configured domain with
21 idmap backend <em class="parameter"><code>ad</code></em>. See the example below.

23 Defines the available matching UID and GID range for which the
24 backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter.
25 If specified any UID or GID stored in AD that fall outside the
26 range is ignored and the corresponding map is discarded.
27 It is intended as a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps
28 between local and remotely defined IDs.

30 Defines the schema that idmap_ad should use when querying
31 Active Directory regarding user and group information.
32 This can be either the RFC2307 schema support included
33 in Windows 2003 R2 or the Service for Unix (SFU) schema.

35 The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings from our principal and
36 trusted AD domains. If trusted domains are present id conflicts must be
37 resolved beforehand, there is no
38 guarantee on the order conflicting mappings would be resolved at this point.

40 This example also shows how to leave a small non conflicting range for local
41 id allocation that may be used in internal backends like BUILTIN.

50 The original Samba software and related utilities
51 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
52 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
53 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
