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.

User Commands WBINFO(1)
--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.
--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. Currently only the -u, and -g
options honor this parameter.
-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 user
Get group info for user.
-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 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).
--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.

User Commands WBINFO(1)
-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.
--lanman
Use lanman cryptography for user authentication.
-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.
-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

User Commands WBINFO(1)
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.
-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.
--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).
-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).
-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 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) .

User Commands WBINFO(1)
--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-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.
-h|--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.

AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were
created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the
Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is developed.
wbinfo and winbindd were written by Tim Potter.
The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald
Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was
done by Alexander Bokovoy.
