When using idmap backend = idmap_ad, Winbind doesn't start. 2 log messages led me to the solution: Using idmap backend 'idmap_ad' Succesfully added idmap backend 'ad' Could not load idmap backend 'idmap_ad' the idmap backend uses it's value as filename when searching for the backend, however the backend registers as 'ad' instead of 'idmap_ad' So it won't load. SOlution is simple -> rename idmap_ad.so to ad.so and change the idmap backend to 'ad' ot the other way around (make idmap_ad register as idmap_ad). If you know where is the problem, that the workaround is easy, however it might be a good idea to correct it in the distribution. Michael Trezzi
Created attachment 1680 [details] strip idmap backend names
Jerry, I would like to commit that patch which finally stripts the idmap backend name. Those having used "idmap backend = idmap_rid" would have to change to "idmap backend = rid". idmap_ad, and the static plugins tdb and ldap are not affected. What do you think?
Yeah. I agree. For consistentcy, the names should simply be tdb, ldap, rid, & ad. Thanks Guenther.
And to make an update as smooth as possible I'll take care to strip of idmap_ from any module we get in loadparm. I discussed this with Günther and he'll assign this bug to me as soon he submitted his changes.
Fixed in subversion. Reassigning to Lars, since he has a nice idea how to transparently solve the upgrade case (for idmap_rid vs. rid).
Fixed as mentiond by Günther in comment #5 with svn rev 12936.
