+ So that we can use a global IDMAP repository the LDAP directory must have a container object for IDMAP data.
+ There are several ways you can check that your LDAP database is able to receive IDMAP information. One of
+ the simplest is to execute:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; slapcat | grep -i idmap
+dn: ou=Idmap,dc=abmas,dc=biz
+ou: idmap
+</screen>
+ <indexterm>
+ <primary>ldapadd</primary>
+ </indexterm>
+ If the execution of this command does not return IDMAP entries, you need to create an LDIF
+ template file (see <link linkend="ch9-ldifadd"/>). You can add the required entries using
+ the following command:
+<screen>
+&rootprompt; ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=abmas,dc=biz" \
+ -w not24get &lt; /etc/openldap/idmap.LDIF
+</screen>
+ Samba automatically populates this LDAP directory container when it needs to.

It looks like all has gone well, as expected. Let's confirm that this is the case
by running a few tests. First we check the contents of the database directly
by running <command>slapcat</command> as follows (the output has been cut down):
