RE: autofs slave ldap server

["Rigler, Steve" <SRigler@MarathonOil.com>]

Not sure what OS you are doing this with, but assuming it's Linux, use syntax in your auto.master like:

 

/home    ldap:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=master,dc=ldap,dc=server

 

You should have your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf configured to look at master and slave directory servers.  It should failover to the second available server if the first is not available.

How do you configure autofs for a slave ldap server?  I have replication working, console logins and ssh sessions work, but when the master ldap server goes down, I can still login, but the automounter doesn’t work.

Of course the entry in auto.master points to the master ldap. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated. Here is my auto.master:

 

/home   ldap:master:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=master,dc=ldap,dc=server --timeout=300
