In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating
backend: This means that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in
- order to create new mappings. The allocator can be provided by the
- idmap_tdb backend itself or by any other allocating backend like
- idmap_ldap or idmap_tdb2. This is configured with the
- parameter <parameter>idmap alloc backend</parameter>.

This example shows how tdb is used as a the default idmap backend.

- This (rather theoretical) example shows how tdb can be used as the
- allocating backend while ldap is the default backend used to store
- the mappings.
- It adds an explicit configuration for some domain DOM1, that
- uses the tdb idmap backend. Note that the same range as the
- default uid/gid range is used, since the allocator has to serve
- both the default backend and the explicitly configured domain DOM1.
