Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
AutoFS Support
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.
