+<title>Identity Mapping &smbmdash; IDMAP</title>
+
+<para>
+The Microsoft Windows operating system has a number of features that impose specific challenges
+for interoperability with operaing system on which Samba is implemented. This chapter deals
+explicitly with the mechanisms Samba-3 (version 3.0.8 and later) has to overcome one of the
+key challenges in the integration of Samba servers into an MS Windows networking
+environment. This chapter deals with IDentity MAPping (IDMAP) of Windows Security IDentifiers (SIDs)
+to UNIX UIDs and GIDs.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+So that this area is covered sufficiently, eash possible Samba deployment type will be discussed.
+This is followed by an overview of how the IDMAP facility may be implemented.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The IDMAP facility is usually of concern only where more than one Samba server or Samba network client
+is installed in the one Domain. Where there is a single Samba server do not be too concerned regarding
+the IDMAP infrastructure - the default behavior of Samba is nearly always sufficient.
