+	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+	<para>
+	  The idmap_adex plugin provides a way for Winbind to read
+	  id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307 schema
+	  extensions. This module implements both the idmap and nss_info
+	  APIs and supports domain trustes as well as two-way cross
+	  forest trusts.  It is a read-only plugin requiring that the
+	  administrator provide mappings in advance by adding the
+	  POSIX attribute information to the users and groups objects
+	  in AD.  The most common means of doing this is using &quot;Identity
+	  Services for Unix&quot; support on Windows 2003 R2 and later.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	  Note that you must add the uidNumber, gidNumber, and uid
+	  attributes to the partial attribute set of the forest global
+	  catalog servers.  This can be done using the Active Directory Schema
+	  Management MMC plugin (schmmgmt.dll).
+	</para>
+</refsynopsisdiv>
+
+<refsynopsisdiv>
+	<title>NSS_INFO</title>
+	<para>
+	  The nss_info plugin supports reading the unixHomeDirectory,
+	  gidNumber, loginShell, and uidNumber attributes from the user
+	  object and the gidNumber attribute from the group object to
+	  fill in information required by the libc getpwnam() and
+	  getgrnam() family of functions.  Group membership is filled in
+	  according to the Windows group membership and not the
+	  msSFU30PosixMember attribute.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	  Username aliases are implement by setting the uid attribute
+	  on the user object.  While group name aliases are implemented
+	  by reading the displayname attribute from the group object.
