Hi Why don't we simply store the uid in the directory along with everything else concerming the user? Why store that information somewhere else? All the OP wants is consistent uidNumbers. The only way I know how to do that is to store the uidNumber in the DN of the object. All DC's pull the same attribute at all times. Forget idmap ranges. You can use winbind to do that and prolly pull stuff from AD too. However, those of us who have tried alternatives for pulling rfc2307 from AD find the alternatives easier to install and configure. Anyone who has tried sssd is unlikely to return to winbind. It also has the advantage that it works fully on a S4 DC, not just for uid and gid but for the whole of rfc2307. For good measure, it throws in dynamic dns updates for fwd and reverse zones. For free. sssd does what it says on the tin. With winbind, there are too many different tins;) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
