	<refpurpose>Samba's idmap_ldap Backend for Winbind</refpurpose>
</refnamediv>

<refsynopsisdiv>
	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>The idmap_ldap plugin provides a means for Winbind to
	store and retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping tables in an LDAP directory 
	service.  The module implements both the &quot;idmap&quot; and 
	&quot;idmap alloc&quot; APIs.

		<term>ldap_base_dn = DN</term>
		<listitem><para>
			Defines the directory base suffix to use when searching for

		<listitem><para>
			Specifies the LDAP server to use when searching for existing

		<term>range = low - high</term>
                <listitem><para>
			Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the
			backend is authoritative.  Note that the range commonly matches
			the allocation range due to the fact that the same backend will
			store and retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping entries.  If the parameter 
			is absent, Winbind fail over to use the &quot;idmap uid&quot; and 
			&quot;idmap gid&quot; options from smb.conf.

	<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.
