    2483         The idmap alloc backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
    2484         when allocating Unix uids/gids for Windows SIDs. This option refers
    2485         to the name of the idmap module which will provide the id allocation
    2486         functionality. Please refer to the man page for each idmap plugin to
    2487         determine whether or not the module implements the allocation feature.
    2488         The most common plugins are the tdb (<a class="citerefentry" href="idmap_tdb.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">idmap_tdb</span>(8)</span></a>)
    2489         and ldap (<a class="citerefentry" href="idmap_ldap.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">idmap_ldap</span>(8)</span></a>) libraries.
