Description Jeff Moyer 2005-07-27 21:18:47 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #142998 +++

Description of problem:
A new draft of the LDAP automount schema is in the works, and has already been
adopted by Sun (in Solaris 9 & 10), presumably among others. One reason the new
schema should be supported is that is imposes case-sensitivity on the key name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-4.1.3-12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an LDAP-based automount using the new schema
2. put ldap first on automount line in nsswitch.conf
3. start autofs service
  
Actual results:
maps from new schema are not mounted

Expected results:
all maps mounted

Additional info:
It currently looks for the key in the cn attribute if using the automount
schema; it should be looking for the key in the automountKey attribute.

The man page automount(8) points to
  http://docs.sun.com/source/806-4251-10/mapping.htm
for documentation on the schema.  This is outdated.  There is also a
samples/autofs.schema file in the source RPM for automount that uses the
outdated schema:
objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.13 NAME 'automount' SUP top STRUCTURAL
       DESC 'An entry in an automounter map'
       MUST ( cn $ automountInformation $ objectclass )
       MAY ( description ) )

The current schema can be found at
  http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-4556/6maort2vf?q=automountKey&a=view
and you can see the MUST attributes uses automountKey now:
( nisSchema.2.17 NAME 'automount' SUP top STRUCTURAL
 DESC 'Automount information'
 MUST ( automountKey $ automountInformation )
 MAY description )
Comment 1 Jeff Moyer 2005-07-27 21:20:36 UTC 
A fix for this was built (at the very latest) into autofs-4.1.3-151.
Comment 4 Kim Sandberg 2005-07-29 12:01:15 UTC 
Is this autofs package available for testing?
Comment 5 Jeff Moyer 2005-08-01 17:27:37 UTC 
The patch was committed in 4.1.3-141.  Package version 4.1.3-149 is available
for testing from here:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jmoyer/autofs/rhel4/4.1.3-149/

Testing feedback would be greatly appreciated.
