+ mapping scheme to map UIDs/GIDs and SIDs that is more deterministic
+ than idmap_tdb and easier to configure than idmap_rid.</p><p>The module works similar to idmap_rid, but it automatically
+ configures the range to be used for each domain, so there is no need
+ to specify a specific range for each domain in the forest, the only
+ configuration that is needed is the range of uid/gids that shall
+ be used for user/group mappings and an optional size of the ranges
+ to be used.</p><p>The mappings of which domain is mapped to which range is stored
+ in autorid.tdb, thus you should backup this database regularly.</p><p>Due to the algorithm being used, it is the module that is
+ most easy to use as it only requires a minimal configuration.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="IDMAP OPTIONS"><a name="id266352"></a><h2>IDMAP OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">rangesize = numberofidsperdomain</span></dt><dd><p>
+ Defines the available number of uids/gids per domain. The
+ minimum needed value is 2000. SIDs with RIDs larger than this
+ value cannot be mapped, are ignored and the corresponding map
+ is discarded. Choose this value carefully, as this should
+ not be changed after the first ranges for domains have been
+ defined, otherwise mappings between domains will get intermixed
+ leading to unpredictable results. Please note that RIDs in Windows
+ Domains usually start with 500 for builtin users and 1000
+ for regular users. As the parameter cannot be changed later, please
+ plan accordingly for your expected number of users in a domain
+ with safety margins.

+ The Unix ID for a RID is calculated this way:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+ ID = IDMAP UID LOW VALUE + DOMAINRANGENUMBER * RANGESIZE + RID
+ </pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ Correspondingly, the formula for calculating the RID for a
+ given Unix ID is this:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+ RID = ID - IDMAP UID LOW VALUE - DOMAINRANGENUMBER * RANGESIZE
+ </pre><p>
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" title="EXAMPLES"><a name="id266864"></a><h2>EXAMPLES</h2><p>

+ This example shows how to configure idmap_autorid as default
+ for all domains with a potentially large amount of users
+ plus a specific configuration for a trusted domain
+ that uses the SFU mapping scheme. Please note that idmap
+ ranges and sfu ranges are not allowed to overlap.
