Description of problem: When autofs is configured to use maps in LDAP the defaults from /etc/ldap.conf are not used. When I configure ldap.conf to ssl start_tls ssl on Account information is looked up over an SSL connection, but querys from autofs are still plain text. Also, if I do not specify a server (the man page says the server is optional) autofs does not function and exists because LDAP queries fail. It does not use the server supplied in /etc/ldap.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-4.1.3-17 + Nalin's patch from #137220 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup autofs to pull maps from LDAP 2. Make changes in /etc/ldap.conf 3. See differences in LDAP querys from autofs and other ldap apps
For additional information that I forgot to add, I would like to be able to have autofs do authenticated queries based off the information in /etc/ldap.conf. That's the goal here. Possibly SASL auth from your kerberos tickets, but I imagine that might be harder.
Try using editing the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file. The /etc/ldap.conf file is owned by the nss_ldap package which autofs does not use. Autofs uses openldap. [cfeist@gold cfeist]$ rpm -qf /etc/ldap.conf nss_ldap-217-1 [cfeist@gold cfeist]$ rpm -qf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf openldap-2.1.29-1 Please let me know if using your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file works.
Blah...your are correct. Thanks. Closing as notabug.
