idmapd.conf(5)                File Formats Manual               idmapd.conf(5)

NAME
       idmapd.conf

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, initi-
       ated  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
              Verbosity level of debugging (Default: 0)

       Domain 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)

       Local-Realms
              A comma-separated list of Kerberos realm names that may be  con-
              sidered  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
       Nobody-User
              Local user name to be used when a mapping cannot be completed.

       Nobody-Group
              Local group name to be used when a mapping cannot be completed.

   [Translation] section variables
       Method A comma-separated, ordered list of mapping methods (plug-ins) to
              use when mapping between NFSv4 names and local IDs.  Each speci-
              fied 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)

       GSS-Methods
              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
              LDAP server name or address (Required if using UMICH_LDAP)

       LDAP_base
              Absolute LDAP search base.  (Required if using UMICH_LDAP)

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

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

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

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

       LDAP_ca_cert
              Location of a trusted CA certificate used when  SSL  is  enabled
              (Required if LDAP_use_ssl is true)

       NFSv4_person_objectclass
              The  object  class  name  for people accounts in your local LDAP
              schema (Default: NFSv4RemotePerson)

       NFSv4_name_attr
              Your local schema's attribute name to be  used  for  NFSv4  user
              names (Default: NFSv4Name)

       NFSv4_uid_attr
              Your  local  schema's  attribute  name  to be used for uidNumber
              (Default: uidNumber)

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

       NFSv4_acctname_attr
              Your  local schema's attribute name to be used for account names
              (Default: uid)

       NFSv4_group_objectclass
              The object class name for group  accounts  in  your  local  LDAP
              schema (Default: NFSv4RemoteGroup)

       NFSv4_gid_attr
              Your  local  schema's  attribute  name  to be used for gidNumber
              (Default: gidNumber)

              names (Default: NFSv4Name)

       LDAP_use_memberof_for_groups
              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 min-
              utes if there are thousands of groups. So setting  LDAP_use_mem-
              berof_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)

       NFSv4_member_attr
              If  LDAP_use_memberof_for_groups  is true, this is the attribute
              to be searched for.  (Default: memberUid)

       NFSv4_grouplist_filter
              An optional search filter for determining group membership.  (No
              Default)

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

EXAMPLES
       An example /etc/idmapd.conf file:

       [General]

       Verbosity = 0
       Domain = domain.org
       Local-Realms = DOMAIN.ORG,MY.DOMAIN.ORG,YOUR.DOMAIN.ORG

       [Mapping]

       Nobody-User = nfsnobody
       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
