LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 Administrator's Guide

Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
AutoFS Support
Chapter 256
The nisObject automount schema defines nisMap and nisObject
structures to represent the AutoFS maps and their entries in the
LDAP directory. There are some limitations that you need to be
aware of when using the nisObject automount schema.
• obsolete automount schema
This is the schema that is shipped with Netscape Directory Server
version 6.x.
The LDAP-UX Client Services supports the new automount schema. The
nisObject automount schema can also be used if configured via
attribute mappings. LDAP-UX does not support the obsolete automount
schema. You must manually delete it before the setup program can
successfully import the new automount schema into the LDAP directory
server.
Read subsequent sections of this chapter for the detailed information
about the automount schemas.
New Automount Schema
This schema is a new schema defined in RFC2307-bis. This schema
defines new automountMap and automount structures to represent
AutoFS maps and their entries in the LDAP directory. AutoFS maps are
stored in the LDAP directory server using structures defined by this
schema.
The RFC2307-bis automount schema is not loaded in the Netscape
Directory Server. If you are installing LDAP-UX B.04.00 on your client
system, the setup program will import the new automount schema into
your Netscape Directory Server. If you previously configured LDAP-UX
B.03.30 or an earlier version, and are now updating the product to
version B.04.00, you must re-run the setup program to import the new
automount schema into the LDAP directory. The subsequent client
systems do not need to re-run the setup.
