&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;==About==&lt;br /&gt;
This parameter specifies the name of the Samba usermap file, typically named /etc/samba/[[smbusers]]. See [[smbusers]] for details on the file&amp;#039;s layout.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Default&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: username map = &amp;#039;&amp;#039;# no username map&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Example&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map&lt;br /&gt;
==Version Sensitivity==&lt;br /&gt;
Samba versions prior to 3.0.8 would only support reading the fully qualified username (e.g.: DOMAIN\user) from the username map when performing a kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map entry for a user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent behavior sometimes even on the same server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following functionality is obeyed in version 3.0.8 and later:&lt;br /&gt;
* When performing local authentication, the username map is applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate the connection.&lt;br /&gt;
* When relying upon a external [[domain controller]] for validating authentication requests, [[smbd]] will apply the username map to the fully qualified username (i.e. DOMAIN\user) only after the user has been successfully authenticated.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
