A new version of libnfsidmap is now available from
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/libnfsidmap/libnfsidmap-0.21.tar.gz
Changes since libnfsidmap-0.20:
- The main library has been changed to load "plugin" libraries to
perform the mappings. This decouples the main library from any ldap
(and sasl, etc.) dependencies.
- Several translation methods (plugins) may now be specified in the
idmapd.conf file. While a plugin returns -ENOENT, the next is called
until a mapping is found, or there are no more plugins to try. See
the notes in the updated sample idmapd.conf configuration file.
- A "static" mapping plugin from David Härdeman <david at hardeman.nu>
has been added.
- A "gums" mapping plugin from Olga Kornievskaia
<aglo at citi.umich.edu> has been added. Olga also did most of the work
to convert the code to use this new plugin architecture.
- The interface is changed to add two new functions,
nfs4_gss_princ_to_ids_ex(), and nfs4_gss_princ_to_grouplist_ex() which
allow extra information to be passed to these mapping functions.
