Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1541

autofs map was tech preview for rhel6.3/sssd-1.8. But it is fully supported for rhel6.4/sssd-1.9

But the manpage of sssd-ldap still shows:

{{{
ldap_autofs_search_base (string)
           An optional base DN, search scope and LDAP filter to restrict LDAP
           searches for this attribute type.

           syntax:

               search_base[?scope?[filter][?search_base?scope?[filter]]*]

           The scope can be one of "base", "onelevel" or "subtree". The filter
           must be a valid LDAP search filter as specified by
           http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2254.txt

           For examples of this syntax, please refer to the “ldap_search_base”
           examples section.

           Default: the value of ldap_search_base

            This is an experimental feature, please use
           http://fedorahosted.org/sssd to report any issues.
}}}

ldap_autofs_search_base is no longer mentioned a experimental feature in the manpage sssd-ldap. Verified with version 1.9.2-24
