Limitations

The nisObject automount schema contains three attributes, cn,

nisMapEntry and nisMapName. cn is an attribute that ignores

case-matching. Consider the following example:

# an indirect map named auto_test

test1 server1:/source

TEST1 server2:/source

In the above example, because the cn attribute is case-insensitive, the

LDAP considers “cn=TEST1, nisMapName=auto_test” to be a

redeﬁnition of “cn=test1, nisMapName=auto_test”.

Using the nisObject automount map schema, capital letters are not

signiﬁcant. In other words, if two keys have names that are only

different by the use of capital letters, then one of those entries will be

rendered inoperable because the other one is the only one that can be

retrieved.

NOTE If you use the nisObject automount map schema, do not use any keys

that have capital letters and only differ from other keys by those capital

letters.

Obsolete Automount Schema

The obsolete automount schema is shipped with the Netscape Directory

Server version 6.x. You must manually delete it before the setup program

can successfully import the new automount schema into the LDAP

directory server.

Removing The Obsolete Automount Schema

Perform the following steps to delete the obsolete automount schema:

Step 1. Login to your Netscape Directory Server as root.

Step 2. Stop your Netscape Directory Server daemon, slapd.

/var/opt/netscape/servers/slapd-<server-instance>/stop-slapd

For example:

/var/opt/netscape/servers/slapd-ldapA.cup.hp.com/stop-slapd
