You can make an automount map such as
auto.home
available in LDAP so that the
automounter mounts a user's home directory on demand.
To add the auto.home
map to LDAP:
Create an LDIF file that defines entries for the map's name and its contents, for example
auto-home.ldif
:dn: nisMapName=auto.home,dc=mydom,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap nisMapName: auto.home dn: cn=*,nisMapName=auto.home,dc=mydom,dc=com objectClass: nisObject cn: * nisMapEntry: -rw,sync
nfssvr
:/nethome/& nisMapName: auto.homeIn the example,
nfssvr
is the host name or IP address of the NFS server that exports the users' home directories.If you have configured LDAP authentication, use the following command to add the map to LDAP:
#
ldapadd -xcWD "cn=admin,dc=mydom,dc=com"
\-f auto-home.ldif
Enter LDAP Password:
adding new entry "nisMapName=auto.home,dc=mydom,dc=com" adding new entry "cn=*,nisMapName=auto.home,dc=mydom,dc=com"user_password
If you have configured Kerberos authentication, use kinit to obtain a ticket granting ticket (TGT) for the
admin
principal, and use this form of the command:#
ldapmodify -f auto-home.ldif
Verify that the map appears in LDAP:
#
ldapsearch -LLL -x -b "dc=mydom,dc=com" nisMapName=auto.home
dn: nisMapName=auto.home,dc=mydom,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: nisMap nisMapName: auto.home dn: cn=*,nisMapName=auto.home,dc=mydom,dc=com objectClass: nisObject cn: * nisMapEntry: -rw,sync nfssvr.mydom.com:/nethome/& nisMapName: auto.home
