	The idmap alloc backend provides a plugin interface for Winbind to use
	when allocating Unix uids/gids for Windows SIDs.  This option is
	to be used in conjunction with the <smbconfoption name="idmap domains"/> 
	parameter and refers to the name of the idmap module which will provide
	the id allocation functionality.  Please refer to the man page 
	for each idmap plugin to determine whether or not the module implements
	the allocation feature.  The most common plugins are the tdb (<citerefentry>
        <refentrytitle>idmap_tdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
        and ldap (<citerefentry><refentrytitle>idmap_ldap</refentrytitle>
        <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>) libraries.
