+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN
+
+ The idmap_hash plugin implements a hashing algorithm used to map
+ SIDs for domain users and groups to 31-bit uids and gids, respectively.
+ This plugin also implements the nss_info API and can be used
+ to support a local name mapping files if enabled via the
+ &quot;winbind normalize names&quot; and &quot;winbind nss info&quot;
+ parameters in &smb.conf;.
+ The module divides the range into subranges for each domain that is being
+ handled by the idmap config.
+
+ The module needs the complete UID and GID range to be able to map all
+ SIDs. The lowest value for the range should be the smallest ID
+ available in the system. This is normally 1000. The highest ID should
+ be set to 2147483647.
+
+ A smaller range will lead to issues because of the hashing algorithm
+ used. The overall range to map all SIDs is 0 - 2147483647. Any range
+ smaller than 0 - 2147483647 will filter some SIDs. As we can normally
+ only start with 1000, we are not able to map 1000 SIDs. This already
+ can lead to issues. The smaller the range the less SIDs can be mapped.
+
+ We do not recommend to use this plugin. It will be removed in a future
+ release of Samba.
