No database is required in this case as the mapping is deterministic\&. .SH "IDMAP OPTIONS" .PP range = low \- high .RS 4 Defines the available matching uid and gid range for which the backend is authoritative\&. Note that the range acts as a filter\&. If algorithmically determined UID or GID fall outside the range, they are ignored and the corresponding map is discarded\&. It is intended as a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps between local and remotely defined IDs\&. .RE .PP base_rid = INTEGER .RS 4 Defines the base integer used to build SIDs out of a UID or a GID, and to rebase the UID or GID to be obtained from a SID\&. This means SIDs with a RID less than the base rid are filtered\&. The default is not to restrict the allowed rids at all, i\&.e\&. a base_rid value of 0\&. A good value for the base_rid can be 1000, since user RIDs by default start at 1000 (512 hexadecimal)\&. .sp Use of this parameter is deprecated\&. .RE .SH "THE MAPPING FORMULAS" .PP The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf ID = RID \- BASE_RID + LOW_RANGE_ID\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .PP Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a given Unix ID is this: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf RID = ID + BASE_RID \- LOW_RANGE_ID\&. .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP This example shows how to configure two domains with idmap_rid, the principal domain and a trusted domain, leaving the default id mapping scheme at tdb\&. The example also demonstrates the use of the base_rid parameter for the trusted domain\&. .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf [global] security = domain workgroup = MAIN idmap backend = tdb idmap uid = 1000000\-1999999 idmap gid = 1000000\-1999999 idmap config MAIN : backend = rid idmap config MAIN : range = 10000 \- 49999 idmap config TRUSTED : backend = rid idmap config TRUSTED : range = 50000 \- 99999 idmap config TRUSTED : base_rid = 1000 .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .SH "AUTHOR" .PP 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\&.
