- The idmap alloc backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
- when allocating Unix uids/gids for Windows SIDs. This option refers
- to the name of the idmap module which will provide the id allocation
- functionality. Please refer to the man page for each idmap plugin to
- determine whether or not the module implements the allocation feature.
- The most common plugins are the tdb (<citerefentry>
- <refentrytitle>idmap_tdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
- and ldap (<citerefentry><refentrytitle>idmap_ldap</refentrytitle>
- <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>) libraries.

- This parameter defaults to the value <smbconfoption name="idmap
- backend"/> was set to, so by default winbind will allocate Unix IDs
- from the default backend. You will only need to set this parameter
- explicitly if you have an external source for Unix IDs, like a central
- database service somewhere in your company.
