NAME

idmapd.conf - configuration file for libnfsidmap

SYNOPSIS

Configuration file for libnfsidmap. Used by idmapd and svcgssd to map NFSv4 name to and from ids.

DESCRIPTION

The idmapd.conf configuration file consists of several sections, initiated by strings of the form [General] and [Mapping]. Each section may contain lines of the form



  variable = value

The recognized sections and their recognized variables are as follows:

[General] section variables




  

  
Verbosity level of debugging (Default: 0)

  

  
The local NFSv4 domain name. An NFSv4 domain is a namespace with a unique
      username<->UID and groupname<->GID mapping. (Default: Host's
      fully-qualified DNS domain name)

  

  
In multi-domain environments, some NFS servers will append the identity
      management domain to the owner and owner_group in lieu of a true NFSv4
      domain. This option can facilitate lookups in such environments. If set to
      a value other than "none", the nsswitch plugin will first pass
      the name to the password/group lookup function without stripping the
      domain off. If that mapping fails then the plugin will try again using the
      old method (comparing the domain in the string to the Domain value,
      stripping it if it matches, and passing the resulting short name to the
      lookup function). Valid values are "user", "group",
      "both", and "none". (Default: "none")

  

  
Winbind has a quirk whereby doing a group lookup in UPN format (e.g.
      staff@americas.example.com) will cause the group to be displayed prefixed
      with the full domain in uppercase (e.g. AMERICAS.EXAMPLE.COM\staff)
      instead of in the familiar netbios name format (e.g. AMERICAS\staff).
      Setting this option to true causes the name to be reformatted before
      passing it to the group lookup function in order to work around this. This
      setting is ignored unless No-Strip is set to either "both" or
      "group". (Default: "false")

  

  
A comma-separated list of Kerberos realm names that may be considered
      equivalent to the local realm name. For example, users juser@ORDER.EDU and
      juser@MAIL.ORDER.EDU may be considered to be the same user in the
      specified Domain. (Default: the host's default realm name)
    

    Note: If a value is specified here, the default local realm must be
      included as well.








[Mapping] section variables





  

  
Local user name to be used when a mapping cannot be completed.

  

  
Local group name to be used when a mapping cannot be completed.








[Translation] section variables





  

  
A comma-separated, ordered list of mapping methods (plug-ins) to use when
      mapping between NFSv4 names and local IDs. Each specified method is tried
      in order until a mapping is found, or there are no more methods to try.
      The methods included in the default distribution include
      "nsswitch", "umich_ldap", and "static".
      (Default: nsswitch)

  

  
An optional comma-separated, ordered list of mapping methods (plug-ins) to
      use when mapping between GSS Authenticated names and local IDs. (Default:
      the same list as specified for Method)








[Static] section variables




The "static" translation method uses a static list of
    GSS-Authenticated names to local user names. Entries in the list are of the
    form:




 principal@REALM = localusername






[REGEX] section variables




If the "regex" translation method is specified, the
    following variables within the [REGEX] section are used to map between NFS4
    names and local IDs.



  

  
Case-insensitive regular expression that extracts the local user name from
      an NFSv4 name. Multiple expressions may be concatenated with '|'. The
      first match will be used. There is no default. A basic regular expression
      for domain DOMAIN.ORG and realm MY.DOMAIN.ORG would be:
    
^DOMAIN\([^@]+)@MY.DOMAIN.ORG$

  

  

  
Case-insensitive regular expression that extracts the local group name
      from an NFSv4 name. Multiple expressions may be concatenated with '|'. The
      first match will be used. There is no default. A basic regular expression
      for domain DOMAIN.ORG and realm MY.DOMAIN.ORG would be:
    
^([^@]+)@DOMAIN.ORG@MY.DOMAIN.ORG$|^DOMAIN\([^@]+)@MY.DOMAIN.ORG$

  

  

  
Constant string to put before a local user name when building an NFSv4
      name. Usually this is the short domain name followed by '´.
      (Default: none)

  

  
Constant string to put after a local user name when building an NFSv4
      name. Usually this is '@' followed by the default realm. (Default:
    none)

  

  
Constant string to put before a local group name when building an NFSv4
      name. Usually not used. (Default: none)

  

  
Constant string to put before a local group name when building an NFSv4
      name. Usually this is '@' followed by the domain name followed by another
      '@' and the default realm. (Default: none)

  

  
Constant string that is prepended to a local group name when converting it
      to an NFSv4 name. If an NFSv4 group name has this prefix it is removed
      when converting it to a local group name. With this group names of a
      central directory can be shortened for an isolated organizational unit if
      all groups have a common prefix. (Default: none)

  

  
Case-insensitive regular expression to exclude groups from adding and
      removing the prefix set by Group-Name-Prefix (Default: none)








[UMICH_SCHEMA] section variables




If the "umich_ldap" translation method is specified, the
    following variables within the [UMICH_SCHEMA] section are used.



  

  
LDAP server name or address (Required if using UMICH_LDAP)

  

  
Absolute LDAP search base. (Required if using UMICH_LDAP)

  

  
Absolute LDAP search base for people accounts. (Default: The
      LDAP_base value)

  

  
Absolute LDAP search base for group accounts. (Default: The
      LDAP_base value)

  

  
Whether or not to perform name canonicalization on the name given as
      LDAP_server (Default: "true")

  

  
Whether or not to follow ldap referrals. (Default: "true")

  

  
Set to "true" to enable SSL communication with the LDAP server.
      (Default: "false")

  

  
Location of a trusted CA certificate used when SSL is enabled (Required if
      LDAP_use_ssl is true and LDAP_tls_reqcert is not set to
      never)

  

  
Controls the LDAP server certificate validation behavior. It can take the
      same values as ldap.conf(5)'s TLS_REQCERT tunable. (Default:
      "hard")

  

  
Number of seconds before timing out an LDAP request (Default: 4)

  

  
SASL mechanism to be used for sasl authentication. Required if SASL auth
      is to be used (Default: None)

  

  
SASL realm to be used for sasl authentication. (Default: None)

  

  
Authentication identity to be used for sasl authentication. (Default:
      None)

  

  
Authorization identity to be used for sasl authentication. (Default:
    None)

  

  
Cyrus SASL security properties. It can the same values as ldap.conf(5)'s
      sasl_secprops.

  

  
Specifies whether the LDAP server hostname should be canonicalised. If set
      to yes LDAP lib with do a reverse hostname lookup. If this is not set the
      LDAP library's default will be used. (Default: None)

  

  
Path to kerberos credential cache. If it is not set then the value of
      environment variable KRB5CCNAME will be used. If the environment variable
      is not set then the default mechanism of kerberos library will be
    used.

  

  
The object class name for people accounts in your local LDAP schema
      (Default: NFSv4RemotePerson)

  

  
Your local schema's attribute name to be used for NFSv4 user names
      (Default: NFSv4Name)

  

  
Your local schema's attribute name to be used for uidNumber (Default:
      uidNumber)

  

  
Your local schema's attribute name for GSSAPI Principal names (Default:
      GSSAuthName)

  

  
Your local schema's attribute name to be used for account names (Default:
      uid)

  

  
The object class name for group accounts in your local LDAP schema
      (Default: NFSv4RemoteGroup)

  

  
Your local schema's attribute name to be used for gidNumber (Default:
      gidNumber)

  

  
Your local schema's attribute name to be used for NFSv4 group names
      (Default: NFSv4Name)

  

  
Some LDAP servers do a better job with indexing where searching through
      all the groups searching for the user in the memberuid list. Others like
      SunOne directory that search can takes minutes if there are thousands of
      groups. So setting LDAP_use_memberof_for_groups to true in the
      configuration file will use the memberof lists of the account and search
      through only those groups to obtain gids. (Default: false)

  

  
If LDAP_use_memberof_for_groups is true, this is the attribute to
      be searched for. (Default: memberUid)

  

  
An optional search filter for determining group membership. (No
    Default)
