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






[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")

  

  
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)

  

  
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)

  

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

Nobody-Group = nfsnobody
[Translation]
Method = umich_ldap,nsswitch
GSS-Methods = umich_ldap,static
[Static]
johndoe@OTHER.DOMAIN.ORG = johnny
[UMICH_SCHEMA]
LDAP_server = ldap.domain.org
LDAP_base = dc=org,dc=domain
