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.

Fixed In Version: sssd-1.9.1-1.el6
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
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.

*** Bug 816686 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
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.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:06:27 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 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 02:05:39 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.
