SUP top STRUCTURAL

MAY description )

It is available in the rfc2307bis.schema

Install

Paste the autofs directory into fusiondirectory/plugins/addons/. Paste the content of the images directory in fusiondirectory/html/images/.

Add the following line to the Addons section in fusiondirectory's main config file (/etc/fusiondirectory/fusiondirectory.conf):

<plugin acl="autofs" class="autofs" />

How to proceed

1. Add the schema to your ldap server instance.
2. Configure an NFS server with some exports.
3. Open fusiondirectory, tell this plugin about the mount points.
4. Configure your autofs clients to look for information on the LDAP server.

Limitations

Only indirect mount could be configured.

nisMapEntry being a IA5String in the LDAP schema, only plain old boring ASCII mount points and exports are supported.
