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>The default value is 100000.</para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> </refsect1> <refsect1> <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> </refsect1> <refsect1> <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 backend = autorid idmap uid = 1000000-1999999 idmap gid = 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.
