 	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-	<para>TODO</para>
+	<para>The idmap_ad plugin provides a way for Winbind to read
+	id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307/SFU schema
+	extensions. This module implements only the &quot;idmap&quot;
+	API, and is READONLY. Mappings must be provided in advance
+	by the administrator by adding the posixAccount/posixGroup
+	classess and relative attribute/value pairs to the users and
+	groups objects in AD</para>

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

+	<para>
+	The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings from our principal and
+	and trusted AD domains. All is needed is to set default to yes. If trusted
+	domains are present id conflicts must be resolved beforehand, there is no
+	guarantee on the order confliting mappings would be resolved at this point.
+
+	This example also shows how to leave a small non conflicting range for local
+	id allocation that may be used in internal backends like BULTIN.
