DESCRIPTION

   This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

   The wbinfo program queries and returns information created and used by
   the winbindd(8) daemon.

   The winbindd(8) daemon must be configured and running for the wbinfo
   program to be able to return information.

OPTIONS

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

           Note
           Do not be tempted to use this functionality for authentication
           in third-party applications. Instead use ntlm_auth(1).

   --allocate-gid
       Get a new GID out of idmap

   --allocate-uid
       Get a new UID out of idmap

   --all-domains
       List all domains (trusted and own domain).

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

   --ccache-save username%password
       Store user and password for ccache.

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

   --dc-info domain
       Displays information about the current domain controller for a
       domain.

   --domain name
       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. A '*' as the domain
       name means to enumerate over all domains (NOTE: This can take a
       long time and use a lot of memory).

   -D|--domain-info domain
       Show most of the info we have about the specified domain.

   --dsgetdcname domain
       Find a DC for a domain.

   --gid-info gid
       Get group info from gid.

   --group-info group
       Get group info from group name.

   -g|--domain-groups
       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 can be listed with the --domain='*' option. Note
       that this operation does not assign group ids to any groups that
       have not already been seen by winbindd(8).

   --get-auth-user
       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.

   --getdcname domain
       Get the DC name for the specified domain.

   -G|--gid-to-sid gid
       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.

   -i|--user-info user
       Get user info.

   -I|--WINS-by-ip ip
       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.

   -K|--krb5auth username%password
       Attempt to authenticate a user via Kerberos.

   --krb5ccname KRB5CCNAME
       Allows one to request a sepcific kerberos credential cache type
       used for authentication.

   --lanman
       Use lanman cryptography for user authentication.

   --logoff
       Logoff a user.

   --logoff-uid UID
       Define user uid used during logoff request.

   --logoff-user USERNAME
       Define username used during logoff request.

   --lookup-sids SID1,SID2...
       Looks up SIDs. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings in the
       traditional Microsoft format. For example,
       S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500.

   -m|--trusted-domains
       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.

   -n|--name-to-sid name
       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.

   -N|--WINS-by-name name
       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.

   --ntlmv2
       Use NTLMv2 cryptography for user authentication.

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

   --own-domain
       List own domain.

   --pam-logon username%password
       Attempt to authenticate a user in the same way pam_winbind would
       do.

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

   -P|--ping-dc
       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.

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

   -R|--lookup-rids rid1, rid2, rid3...
       Converts RIDs to names. Uses a comma separated list of rids.

   --remove-gid-mapping GID,SID
       Removes an existing GID to SID mapping from the database.

   --remove-uid-mapping UID,SID
       Removes an existing UID to SID mapping from the database.

   -s|--sid-to-name sid
       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.

   --separator
       Get the active winbind separator.

   --sequence
       This command has been deprecated. Please use the --online-status
       option instead.

   --set-auth-user username%password
       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).

   --set-gid-mapping GID,SID
       Create a GID to SID mapping in the database.

   --set-uid-mapping UID,SID
       Create a UID to SID mapping in the database.

   -S|--sid-to-uid sid
       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.

   --sid-aliases sid
       Get SID aliases for a given SID.

   --sid-to-fullname sid
       Converts a SID to a full username (DOMAIN\username).

   --sids-to-unix-ids sid1,sid2,sid3...
       Resolve SIDs to Unix IDs. SIDs must be specified as ASCII strings
       in the traditional Microsoft format. For example,
       S-1-5-21-1455342024-3071081365-2475485837-500.

   -t|--check-secret
       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.

   -u|--domain-users
       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 can be listed with the --domain='*' option. Note
       that this operation does not assign user ids to any users that have
       not already been seen by winbindd(8) .

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

   --usage
       Print brief help overview.

   --user-domgroups sid
       Get user domain groups.

   --user-sidinfo sid
       Get user info by sid.

   --user-sids sid
       Get user group SIDs for user.

   -U|--uid-to-sid uid
       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.

   --verbose
       Print additional information about the query results.

   -Y|--sid-to-gid sid
       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.

   -V|--version
       Prints the program version number.

   -?|--help
       Print a summary of command line options.

EXIT STATUS

   The wbinfo program returns 0 if the operation succeeded, or 1 if the
   operation failed. If the winbindd(8) daemon is not working wbinfo will
   always return failure.

VERSION

   This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.
