Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dmitri Pal 2012-04-12 13:13:49 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1300

When I limited the maximum key length to {{{NAME_MAX}}} I forgot about direct keys. Ian Kent reminded me in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683523#c80 that direct keys can be full paths.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:06:32 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:05:31 UTC

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 4 Kaushik Banerjee 2012-11-28 10:33:54 UTC

Verified with version 1.9.2-21.

Verifed using the tool autofs_test_client
# echo /largepathfolder1/largepathfolder2/largepathfolder3/largepathfolder4/largepathfolder5/largepathfolder6/largepathfolder7/largepathfolder8/largepathfolder9/largepathfolder10/largepathfolder11/largepathfolder12/largepathfolder13/largepathfolder14/largepathfolder15 | wc -c
262

# ./autofs_test_client -n /largepathfolder1/largepathfolder2/largepathfolder3/largepathfolder4/largepathfolder5/largepathfolder6/largepathfolder7/largepathfolder8/largepathfolder9/largepathfolder10/largepathfolder11/largepathfolder12/largepathfolder13/largepathfolder14/largepathfolder15 auto.direct
setautomntent done for auto.direct
key: /largepathfolder1/largepathfolder2/largepathfolder3/largepathfolder4/largepathfolder5/largepathfolder6/largepathfolder7/largepathfolder8/largepathfolder9/largepathfolder10/largepathfolder11/largepathfolder12/largepathfolder13/largepathfolder14/largepathfolder15		value: -fstype=nfs,rw kau63.kautest.com:/export/largepathfolder
endautomntent done for auto.direct


The tool autofs_test_client was built as per the steps given by Jakub:

1. grab the SRPM from brew

2. install all the build dependencies:
    yum-builddep sssd-1.9.2-21.el6.src.rpm

3. install the SRPM
    rpm -i sssd-1.9.2-21.el6.src.rpm

4. compile the SSSD
    rpmbuild -bc ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/sssd.spec

5. go to the build directory
    cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/sssd-1.9.2/

6. build the tests
    make tests

You should see a binary called autofs_test_client now. The binary talks
the same protocol as the autofs itself, so you can use it to retrieve
all keys from a particular map:
     ./autofs_test_client auto.master

Or just one key from a map:
     ./autofs_test_client -n somelongkey auto.master
