+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>
+ The idmap_tdb plugin is the default backend used by winbindd
+ for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.

+ This example shows how tdb is used as a the default idmap backend.
+ This configured range is used for uid and gid allocation.
