<refsynopsisdiv>
	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>
	The idmap_tdb2 plugin is a substitute for the default idmap_tdb
	backend used by winbindd for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables
	in clustered environments with Samba and CTDB.
	</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.
	</para>

	<variablelist>
		<varlistentry>

		<listitem><para>
			Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the
			backend is authoritative.

	<title>IDMAP SCRIPT</title>

	<para>
	The tdb2 idmap backend supports a script for performing id mappings
	through the smb.conf option <parameter>idmap : script</parameter>.
	The script should accept the following command line options.
	</para>

	<programlisting>
	SIDTOID S-1-xxxx
	IDTOSID UID xxxx
	IDTOSID GID xxxx
	</programlisting>

	<para>
	And it should return one of the following responses as a single line of
	text.
	</para>

	<programlisting>
	UID:yyyy
	GID:yyyy
	SID:yyyy
	ERR:yyyy
	</programlisting>

	<para>
	Note that the script should cover the complete range of SIDs
	that can be passed in for SID to Unix ID mapping, since otherwise
	SIDs unmapped by the script might get mapped to IDs that had
	previously been mapped by the script.
	</para>
</refsect1>

	<title>EXAMPLES</title>

	<para>
	This example shows how tdb2 is used as a the default idmap backend.
	It configures the idmap range through the global options for all
	domains encountered.
	</para>

	<programlisting>
	[global]
	idmap config * : backend = tdb2
	idmap config * : range = 1000000-2000000
	</programlisting>

	<title>AUTHOR</title>

	<para>
	The original Samba software and related utilities
	were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
	to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
