+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>The idmap_autorid backend provides a way to use an algorithmic
+ mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs that is more deterministic
+ than idmap_tdb and easier to configure than idmap_rid.</para>
+ <para>The module works similar to idmap_rid, but it automatically
+ configures the range to be used for each domain, so there is no need
+ to specify a specific range for each domain in the forest, the only
+ configuration that is needed is the range of uid/gids that shall
+ be used for user/group mappings and an optional size of the ranges
+ to be used.</para>
+ <para>The mappings of which domain is mapped to which range is stored
+ in autorid.tdb, thus you should backup this database regularly.</para>
+ <para>Due to the algorithm being used, it is the module that is
+ most easy to use as it only requires a minimal configuration.</para>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>rangesize = numberofidsperdomain</term>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Defines the available number of uids/gids per domain. The
+ minimum needed value is 2000. SIDs with RIDs larger than this
+ value cannot be mapped, are ignored and the corresponding map
+ is discarded. Choose this value carefully, as this should
+ not be changed after the first ranges for domains have been
+ defined, otherwise mappings between domains will get intermixed
+ leading to unpredictable results. Please note that RIDs in Windows
+ Domains usually start with 500 for builtin users and 1000
+ for regular users. As the parameter cannot be changed later, please
+ plan accordingly for your expected number of users in a domain
+ with safety margins.
+ </para>
+ <para>One range will be used for local users and groups and for
+ non-domain well-known SIDs like Everyone (S-1-1-0) or Creator Owner (S-1-3-0).
+ A chosen list of well-known SIDs will be preallocated on first start
+ to create deterministic mappings for those.</para>
+ <para>
+ Thus the number of local users and groups that can be created is
+ limited by this option as well. If you plan to create a large amount
+ of local users or groups, you will need set this parameter accordingly.
+ </para>
+ <para>The default value is 100000.</para>

+ <title>THE MAPPING FORMULAS</title>
+ <para>
+ The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way:
+ <programlisting>
+ ID = IDMAP UID LOW VALUE + DOMAINRANGENUMBER * RANGESIZE + RID
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a
+ given Unix ID is this:
+ <programlisting>
+ RID = ID - IDMAP UID LOW VALUE - DOMAINRANGENUMBER * RANGESIZE
+ </programlisting>
+ </para>

+ <title>EXAMPLES</title>
+ <para>
+ This example shows you the minimal configuration that will
+ work for the principial domain and 19 trusted domains.
+ </para>
+
+ <programlisting>
+ [global]
+ security = ads
+ workgroup = CUSTOMER
+ realm = CUSTOMER.COM
+
+ idmap config * : backend = autorid
+ idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
+
+ </programlisting>
+
+ <para>
+ This example shows how to configure idmap_autorid as default
+ for all domains with a potentially large amount of users
+ plus a specific configuration for a trusted domain
+ that uses the SFU mapping scheme. Please note that idmap
+ ranges and sfu ranges are not allowed to overlap.
+ </para>
+
+ <programlisting>
+ [global]
+ security = ads
+ workgroup = CUSTOMER
+ realm = CUSTOMER.COM
+
+ idmap config * : backend = autorid
+ idmap config * : range = 1000000-19999999
+ idmap config * : rangesize = 1000000
+
+ idmap config TRUSTED : backend = ad
+ idmap config TRUSTED : range = 50000 - 99999
+ idmap config TRUSTED : schema_mode = sfu
