+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #850824 +++ Description of problem: In Samba 3.6 the id mapping configuration has been changed and simplified. See the release notes: https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.6.0.html and the smb.conf and idmap manpages. Example: workgroup = LEVEL1 realm = LEVEL1.DISCWORLD.SITE security = ads # v3.6 common id range passdb backend = tdbsam idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999 # Winbind domain idmap idmap config LEVEL1 : backend = rid idmap config LEVEL1 : range = 100000000-199999999 --- Additional comment from asn on 2012-08-22 15:38:57 CEST --- The same applies to RHEL 6.4, RHEL 7.0 and Fedora. Should I open a bug for each or will you just clone this bug? --- Additional comment from tmraz on 2012-08-27 16:55:35 CEST --- Is the new samba completely backwards incompatible with the old settings? --- Additional comment from asn on 2012-08-27 17:25:27 CEST --- No, the old idmap settings will not work anymore. You NEED to change them!
