+ <para>
+ The idmap backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
+ varying backends to store SID/uid/gid mapping tables. This
+ option is mutually exclusive with the newer and more flexible
+ <smbconfoption name="idmap domains"/> parameter. The main difference
+ between the &quot;idmap backend&quot; and the &quot;idmap domains&quot;
+ is that the former only allows on backend for all domains while the
+ latter supports configuring backends on a per domain basis.
+ </para>

+ <para>Examples of SID/uid/gid backends include tdb (<citerefentry>
