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

Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
AutoFS Support
Chapter 2 61
Table 2-3 shows the attribute mappings:
• Change the automount search filter for the automount service to the
nisObject search filter. LDAP-UX Client Services uses the
automount search filter for the automount service as a default. The
search filter change can be done in step 11 of the Custom
Configuration. If you want to create the nisObject search filter for
the automount service to search a different location in the LDAP
directory server, see “Custom Configuration” on page 34 for details.
If you want to perform attribute mappings or search filter changes by
using the Custom Configuration, ensure that you do not accept the
remaining default configuration parameters in step 4 of the Custom
Configuration.
NOTE You can use the nisObject automount schema without attribute
mappings and search filter changes if only the nisObject automount
schema exists in the LDAP directory.
Configuring Name Service Switch
Configure the Name Service Switch (NSS) to enable the LDAP support
for AutoFS.
You can save a copy of /etc/nsswitch.conf file and modify the original
to add LDAP support to the automount service. See
/etc/nsswitch.ldap for a sample.
The following shows the sample file, /etc/nsswitch.ldap:
