Fw: AutoFS LDAP Help



 
Hi,

I am trying to setup the LDAP autofs using Redhat 8.0. I have two Redhat
machine one is LDAP/NFS server, another is just client.

Here is my configuration:

192.168.1.110 is LDAP/Server
192.168.1.8  is Client

Using LDAP Authentication I was able to login into 192.168.1.8. Now I want
to share 192.168.1.110 home directory to  the clients.

In the server I shared the home directory.
# cat /etc/exports
/home
192.168.1.8(rw,insecure,sync,insecure_locks,no_root_squash)

Client side I modified /etc/nsswitch.conf :

automount:  files

#cat /etc/auto.master
#
# directories listed in /etc/auto_home is mounted under /home
/home           auto_home

[root@localhost root]# cat /etc/auto_home

# Export all the users home directory in Server
*       192.168.1.110:/home/&

With this configuration automount works.

I want to store this information in LDAP,  My sample ldif file configuration
looks like this.

[root@localhost work]# cat au.ldif
dn: ou=auto.master, dc=percipia, dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
ou: auto.master

dn: cn=/home, ou=auto.master, dc=percipia, dc=com
objectClass: automount
cn: /home
automountInformation: ldap 192.168.1.110:ou=auto.home,dc=percipia,dc=com

dn: ou=auto.home, dc=percipia, dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap
ou: auto.home

dn: cn=ravi, ou=auto.home, dc=percipia, dc=com
objectClass: automount
cn: ravi
automountInformation: 192.168.1.110:/home/ravi

dn: cn=sundaram, ou=auto.home, dc=percipia, dc=com
objectClass: automount
cn: sundaram
automountInformation: 192.168.1.110:/home/sundaram

On the client side I modified /etc/nsswitch.conf :
automount:   ldap

[root@localhost root]# service  autofs restart
Stopping automount:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting automount:                                        [  OK  ]

[root@localhost root]# ls /home/sundaram
ls: /home/sundaram: No such file or directory

[root@localhost root]# service  autofs status
Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount /home yp ldap
192.168.1.110:ou=auto.home,dc=percipia,dc=com


Active Mount Points:
--------------------
[root@localhost root]#


I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I used the following refrence.
