Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services

AutoFS Support

 

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
