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.

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.
