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

         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.
