•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:
