Autofs with ldap
----------------

You can configure autofs via LDAP using the nis.schema or rfc2307bis.schema.
You can find this schema at /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema and
/etc/openldap/schema/rfc2307bis.schema resp.

1. Change the "automount:" entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf to

automount:      files ldap

2. Configure your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf

include         /etc/openldap/schema/rfc2307bis.schema
or
include         /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

3. Create the neccessary entry in LDAP

Here is an example ldif to mount the whole /home per autofs:

--------------------- begin ------------------------------------------------
dn: ou=AUTOFS,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: AUTOFS

dn: nisMapName=auto.master,ou=AUTOFS,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: nisMap
nisMapName: auto.master

dn: cn=/mounts,nisMapName=auto.master,ou=AUTOFS,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: nisObject
nisMapName: auto.master
cn: /mounts
nisMapEntry: ldap ldapserver.example.org:nisMapName=auto.mounts,ou=AUTOFS,dc=example,dc=org

dn: nisMapName=auto.mounts,ou=AUTOFS,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: nisMap
nisMapName: auto.mounts

dn: cn=home,nisMapName=auto.mounts,ou=AUTOFS,dc=example,dc=org
objectClass: nisObject
nisMapName: auto.mounts
cn: home
nisMapEntry: -fstype=nfs,hard,intr,nodev,nosuid nfsserver.example.org:/home
