LDAP and Automount

[Holger Schier <hschier@mathematik.uni-mainz.de>]

Hey guys,

I have a problem to get automount working correctly with my LDAP.

I am using a Suse Linux Enterprise Edition 11. LDAP works fine, NFS too. 
The Client Desktops have an OpenSUSE 11.2 or 11.3. In the YaST LDAP 
Client I have activated the "Start Automounter" Option.

On the Server I am working with the rfc2307bis.schema:

-----
attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.31 NAME 'automountMapName'
  DESC 'automount Map Name'
  EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match
  SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE )

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.32 NAME 'automountKey'
  DESC 'Automount Key value'
  EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match
  SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE )

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.33 NAME 'automountInformation'
  DESC 'Automount information'
  EQUALITY caseExactIA5Match
  SUBSTR caseExactIA5SubstringsMatch
  SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 SINGLE-VALUE )

objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.16 NAME 'automountMap' SUP top STRUCTURAL
  MUST ( automountMapName )
  MAY description )

objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.17 NAME 'automount' SUP top STRUCTURAL
  DESC 'Automount information'
  MUST ( automountKey $ automountInformation )
  MAY description )
-----

I added these next lines to my LDAP tree:

-----
dn: ou=autofs,dc=MY,dc=DC
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: autofs

dn: ou=home,ou=autofs,dc=MY,dc=DC
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalUnit
ou: home

dn: automountKey=/,ou=home,ou=autofs,dc=MY,dc=DC
objectclass: top
objectclass: automount
automountInformation: SERVER:/home/&
automountKey: /
------

and on the client maschine auto.master file:

-----
/home ldap SERVER:ou=home,ou=autofs,dc=MY,dc=DC
-----

and I added these lines in the /etc/sysconfig/autofs file (the old one 
are comments now)

-----
DEFAULT_MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="automountMap"
DEFAULT_ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="automount"
DEFAULT_MAP_ATTRIBUTE="automountMapName"
DEFAULT_ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="automountKey"
DEFAULT_VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="automountInformation"
-----

But anyway, it doesn't want to work. What is missing? I tried to work 
with some guides in the net, but every guide isn't exact my case, so i 
tried it on my own. I am happy for every hint.

Thanks.
Holger
