	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>
	The idmap_tdb plugin is the default backend used by winbindd
	for storing SID/uid/gid mapping tables.
	</para>

	<para>
	In contrast to read only backends like idmap_rid, it is an allocating
	backend: This means that it needs to allocate new user and group IDs in
	order to create new mappings.
	</para>

	<title>EXAMPLES</title>

	<para>
	This example shows how tdb is used as a the default idmap backend.
	This configured range is used for uid and gid allocation.
	</para>

	<programlisting>
	[global]
	# "backend = tdb" is redundant here since it is the default
	idmap config * : backend = tdb
	idmap config * : range = 1000000-2000000

	The original Samba software and related utilities
