+idmap_adex
+==========
+
+The adex idmap/nss_info plugin is an adapation of the Likewise
+Enterprise plugin with support for OU based cells removed
+(since the Windows pieces to manage the cells are not available).
+
+This plugin supports
+
+ * The RFC2307 schema for users and groups.
+ * Connections to trusted domains
+ * Global catalog searches
+ * Cross forest trusts
+ * User and group aliases
+
+Prerequiste: Add the following attributes to the Partial Attribute
+Set in global catalog:
+
+ * uidNumber
+ * uid
+ * gidNumber
+
+A basic config using the current trunk code would look like:
+
+[global]
+ idmap backend = adex
+ idmap uid = 10000 - 29999
+ idmap gid = 10000 - 29999
+ winbind nss info = adex
+
+ winbind normalize names = yes
+ winbind refresh tickets = yes
+ template homedir = /home/%D/%U
+ template shell = /bin/bash
