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.

       --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 --sequence, -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.

       -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'.

       -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.

       --sequence
           Show sequence numbers of all known domains.

       --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) .

       --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 uid
           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.

       --remove-uid-mapping uid,sid
           Remove an existing uid to sid mapping entry from the IDmap backend.

       --remove-gid-mapping gid,sid
           Remove an existing gid to sid mapping entry from the IDmap backend.

       --set-uid-mapping uid,sid
           Create a new or modify an existing uid to sid mapping in the IDmap backend.

       --set-gid-mapping gid,sid
           Create a new or modify an existing gid to sid mapping in the IDmap backend.

       -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.
