Jakub Hrozek 2012-11-15 17:37:17 UTC Doc Text Cause: Customers request the ability to cache their LDAP-maintained autofs share maps locally so that an LDAP disruption does not result in a disruption in their ability to automount shares.

Change: SSSD and autofs were updated to allow using SSSD as a source for map information.

Result: As a Tech Preview feature SSSD can now cache share maps for autofs.
Cause: Customers request the ability to cache their LDAP-maintained autofs share maps locally so that an LDAP disruption does not result in a disruption in their ability to automount shares.

Change: SSSD and autofs were updated to allow using SSSD as a source for map information.

Result: SSSD can now cache share maps for autofs.

SSSD Fully Supported Features

A number of features introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 are now fully supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Specifically:

support for central management of SSH keys,

SELinux user mapping and support for automount map caching.

Jakub Hrozek 2013-01-25 11:21:46 UTC Doc Text SSSD Fully Supported Features

A number of features introduced in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 are now fully supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. Specifically:

support for central management of SSH keys,

SELinux user mapping and support for automount map caching.
Cause: The automounter can be configured to read autofs maps from a centralized server such as an LDAP server.

Consequence: When the network is down or the server is not reachable automounter is unable to serve maps

Change: A new responder was introduced to the SSSD that is able to communicate with the automounter deamon.

Result: Automounter can now request the maps via the SSSD instead of going directly to the server. As a result, the automounter is able to serve maps even in case of an outage of the LDAP server.

Better Interoperability with Active Directory

Added functionality of System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) enables better interoperability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux clients with Active Directory, which makes identity management easier in Linux and Windows environments. The automounter daemon can now be configured to read autofs maps from a centralized server, for example from a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. A new SSSD responder can communicate with automounter, which can request maps via SSSD instead of going directly to the server. As a result, automounter is able to serve maps even when the network is down or the server is not reachable.
