Hi, Today I'm trying to debug a problem on samba 3.5.4 where a domain member server is having trouble mapping UIDs to SIDs. I must admit I never really looked at this before as everything seemed to "just work". Today I discovered that idmap backend on the PDC and the member server were both defaulted to tdb. This means they have independent views of UID to SID mappings I guess. That sucks. So I'm looking at the ldap backend but I notice that it uses a special ou in the LDAP tree to store mappings. Why do we need that if the sambaSamAccount schema also has SIDs and UIDs for each user. Also, how is that tree populated?
Looking at my PDC it seems to just pull everything out of gencache.tdb or say that no mapping exists. Doing a tdbdump of winbind_idmap.tdb shows only a few entries. This seems to be more complicated than I expected. I'm sorry if this is a silly question but what am I doing wrong?
