By default, the N2L service supports mappings between the list of maps provided below and RFC 2307, RFC 2307bis, and their successors' LDAP entries. These standard maps do not require manual modification to the mapping file. Any maps on your system that are not in the list are considered custom maps and require manual modification.
The N2L service also supports automatic mapping of the auto.* maps. However, because most auto.* file names and contents are specific to each network configuration, those files are not specified in this list. The exceptions are the auto.home and auto.master maps, which are supported as standard maps.
The standard maps are:
audit_user auth_attr auto.home auto.master bootparams ethers.byaddr ethers.byname exec_attr group.bygid group.byname group.adjunct.byname hosts.byaddr hosts.byname ipnodes.byaddr ipnodes.byname mail.byaddr mail.aliases netgroup netgroup.byprojid netgroup.byuser netgroup.byhost netid.byname netmasks.byaddr networks.byaddr networks.byname passwd.byname passwd.byuid passwd.adjunct.byname prof_attr project.byname project.byprojectid protocols.byname protocols.bynumber publickey.byname rpc.bynumber services.byname services.byservicename timezone.byname user_attr
During the NIS-to-LDAP transition, the yppasswdd daemon uses the N2L-specific map, ageing.byname, to read from and write password aging information to the DIT. If you are not using password aging, then the ageing.byname mapping is ignored.
