Attempt to authenticate a user via winbindd(8). This checks both authentication methods and reports its results.

Get a new GID out of idmap

Get a new UID out of idmap

List all domains (trusted and own domain).

Change the trust account password. May be used in conjunction with domain in order to change interdomain trust account passwords.

Store user and password for ccache.

Change the password of a user. The old and new password will be prompted.

This parameter sets the domain on which any specified operations will performed. If special domain name '.' is used to represent the current domain to which winbindd(8) belongs. Currently only the -u, and -g options honor this parameter.

Show most of the info we have about the specified domain.

Find a DC for a domain.

Get group info from gid.

Get group info for user.

This option will list all groups available in the Windows NT domain for which the samba(7) daemon is operating in. Groups in all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign group ids to any groups that have not already been seen by winbindd(8).

Print username and password used by winbindd(8) during session setup to a domain controller. Username and password can be set using --set-auth-user. Only available for root.

Get the DC name for the specified domain.

Try to convert a UNIX group id to a Windows NT SID. If the gid specified does not refer to one within the idmap gid range then the operation will fail.

Print brief help overview.

Get user info.

The -I option queries winbindd(8) to send a node status request to get the NetBIOS name associated with the IP address specified by the ip parameter.

Attempt to authenticate a user via Kerberos.

Use lanman cryptography for user authentication.

Produce a list of domains trusted by the Windows NT server winbindd(8) contacts when resolving names. This list does not include the Windows NT domain the server is a Primary Domain Controller for.

The -n option queries winbindd(8) for the SID associated with the name specified. Domain names can be specified before the user name by using the winbind separator character. For example CWDOM1/Administrator refers to the Administrator user in the domain CWDOM1. If no domain is specified then the domain used is the one specified in the smb.conf(5) workgroup parameter.

The -N option queries winbindd(8) to query the WINS server for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name specified by the name parameter.

Use NTLMv2 cryptography for user authentication.

Show whether domains are marked as online or offline. An optional domain argument limits the output to the online status of a given domain.

List own domain.

Check whether winbindd(8) is still alive. Prints out either 'succeeded' or 'failed'.

Issue a no-effect command to our DC. This checks if our secure channel connection to our domain controller is still alive. It has much less impact than wbinfo -t.

Try to obtain the list of UNIX group ids to which the user belongs. This only works for users defined on a Domain Controller.

Converts RIDs to names. Uses a comma separated list of rids.

Use -s to resolve a SID to a name. This is the inverse of the -n option above. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings in the traditional Microsoft format. For example, S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500.

Get the active winbind separator.

Store username and password used by winbindd(8) during session setup to a domain controller. This enables winbindd to operate in a Windows 2000 domain with Restrict Anonymous turned on (a.k.a. Permissions compatible with Windows 2000 servers only).

Convert a SID to a UNIX user id. If the SID does not correspond to a UNIX user mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail.

Get SID aliases for a given SID.

Converts a SID to a full username (DOMAIN\username).

Verify that the workstation trust account created when the Samba server is added to the Windows NT domain is working. May be used in conjunction with domain in order to verify interdomain trust accounts.

This option will list all users available in the Windows NT domain for which the winbindd(8) daemon is operating in. Users in all trusted domains will also be listed. Note that this operation does not assign user ids to any users that have not already been seen by winbindd(8) .

Get user info for the user connected to user id UID.

Print brief help overview.

Get user domain groups.

Get user group SIDs for user.

Try to convert a UNIX user id to a Windows NT SID. If the uid specified does not refer to one within the idmap range then the operation will fail.

Print additional information about the query results.

Convert a SID to a UNIX group id. If the SID does not correspond to a UNIX group mapped by winbindd(8) then the operation will fail.

Prints the program version number.

Print a summary of command line options.
