+ <para>
+ The idmap alloc backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
+ when allocating Unix uids/gids for Windows SIDs. This option is
+ to be used in conjunction with the <smbconfoption name="idmap domains"/>
+ parameter and 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.
