Varying levels of interoperability with Active Directory can be achieved on most Unix-like operating systems (including Unix, Linux, Mac OS X or Java and Unix-based programs) through standards-compliant LDAP clients, but these systems usually do not interpret many attributes associated with Windows components, such as Group Policy and support for one-way trusts.
The Microsoft Windows operating system has a number of features that impose specific challengesto interoperability with the operating systems on which Samba is implemented. This chapter dealsexplicitly with the mechanisms Samba-3 (version 3.0.8 and later) uses to overcome one of thekey challenges in the integration of Samba servers into an MS Windows networking environment.This chapter deals with identity mapping (IDMAP) of Windows security identifiers (SIDs)to UNIX UIDs and GIDs.
