	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 one backend for all domains while the
	latter supports configuring backends on a per domain basis.

	<para>Examples of SID/uid/gid backends include tdb (<citerefentry>
	<refentrytitle>idmap_tdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
	ldap (<citerefentry><refentrytitle>idmap_ldap</refentrytitle>
