Identity Mapping Back Ends

Supported ID Mapping Back Ends

Samba provides the following ID mapping back ends:

• idmap config ad (RFC2307)
• idmap config rid
• idmap config autorid
• idmap config hash
• idmap config ldap
• idmap config nss

Using ID Mapping Back Ends on a Samba AD DC

For setting up Winbindd a Samba Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC), see Configuring Winbindd on a Samba AD DC.

ID mapping back ends are not supported in the smb.conf file on a Samba AD DC. For details, see Failure to Access Shares on Domain Controllers If idmap config Parameters Set in the smb.conf File. Note: If you run testparm on a Samba AD DC, it displays an error message: ERROR: Invalid idmap range for domain *! You can ignore this, see Bug report 12629: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12629
