20         <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
21
22         <para>The idmap_ldap plugin provides a means for Winbind to
23         store and retrieve SID/uid/gid mapping tables in an LDAP directory
24         service.
25         </para>
26
27         <para>
28         In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating
29         backend: This means that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in
30         order to create new mappings.

79         The following example shows how an ldap directory is used as the 
80         default idmap backend. It also configures the idmap range and base 
81         directory suffix.

95
96         <para>In order to use authentication against ldap servers you may
97         need to provide a DN and a password. To avoid exposing the password
98         in plain text in the configuration file we store it into a security
99         store. The &quot;net idmap &quot; command is used to store a secret
100         for the DN specified in a specific idmap domain.
