wbinfo
TLDR
List domain users
SYNOPSIS
wbinfo [options]
DESCRIPTION
wbinfo queries information from the winbindd daemon, which provides Windows domain integration for Samba and Linux systems. It retrieves user, group, and domain information from Active Directory or NT domains.
The tool is essential for troubleshooting Winbind configurations and verifying domain connectivity. It can resolve between Windows SIDs and UNIX UIDs/GIDs using the configured ID mapping.
winbindd must be running and properly configured for wbinfo to function. The tool is commonly used to verify Samba domain membership.

Authenticate user (testing only).
CAVEATS
Requires running winbindd daemon. Authentication via -a is for testing only; use ntlm_auth for applications. Some operations may take time on large domains. Exit status 0 indicates success, 1 indicates failure.
HISTORY
wbinfo is part of the Samba suite, which provides Windows interoperability for Unix systems. Winbind enables Unix systems to appear as members of Windows domains, allowing domain users to authenticate on Unix systems.
