LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.10 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's Guide

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:
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts: dns files ldap
networks files ldap
protocols: files ldap
rpc: files ldap
publickey: ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
netgroup: files ldap
automount: files ldap
aliases: files
services: files ldap
Configuring Automount Caches
To improve performance of automount services, the ldapclient daemon, ldapclientd, caches
automount maps and automount entries in the maps to reduce the LDAP-UX Client response
time while retrieving information for automount maps and entries
To configure automount caches, set the parameters defined in the [automountMap] and
[automount] sections of the /etc/opt/ldapux/ldapclientd.conf file. See “The
ldapclientd.conf Configuration File” section in Chapter 7 (page 91) for details
