NAME
     idmapd - Native Identity Mapping service daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/idmapd


DESCRIPTION
     The idmapd daemon maps Windows Security  Identifiers  (SIDs)
     to POSIX Identifiers (UIDs/GIDs) and conversely.


     The idmap(1M) utility provides a front  end  to  the  idmapd
     daemon.

FILES
     /var/idmap/idmap.db

         Database in which to store local name-based  ID  mapping
         rules.  The  contents  of  the database are private. The
         database should not be accessed or modified directly.


     /var/run/idmap/idmap.db

         Database in which to cache ID  mappings  that  are  gen-
         erated  by  ephemeral  ID mapping and by name-based map-
         ping. The contents of  the  database  are  private.  The
         database should not be accessed or modified directly.

NOTES
     The idmapd service is  managed  by  the  service  management
     facility  (SMF).  The service identifier for the idmapd ser-
     vice is svc:/system/idmap.


     Use the svcadm command to perform administrative actions  on
     this service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting the
     service. These actions require the  solaris.smf.manage.idmap
     authorization.  Use  the svcs command to query the service's
     status.


     The functionality of this daemon might change  in  a  future
     release of the Solaris operating system.
