Configuring autofs + LDAP client

[Guest Kaspersky]

Hi all

 

I have use Mandriva 2007 and I have several problems with configuring autofs + LDAP client on it.

 

1. I have configured LDAP client and now ldap users can login to my system without problems. But strange errors are printed out to /var/log/messages file:

Why nss_ldap cannot contact to megapolis2? OpenSuse 10.2 works without problems.

 

2. I want to use autofs + LDAP but it does not work on Mandiva2007. I have done the following:

/etc/autofs/autofs.conf

#

# Define default options for autofs.

#

# MASTER_MAP_NAME - default map name for the master map.

#

MASTER_MAP_NAME="auto.master"

#

# TIMEOUT - set the default mount timeout (default 600).

#

TIMEOUT=300

#

# BROWSE_MODE - maps are browsable by default.

#

BROWSE_MODE="yes"

#

# LOGGING - set default log level "none", "verbose" or "debug"

#

#LOGGING="none"

#

# Define the default LDAP schema to use for lookups

#

# System default

#

MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="nisMap"

ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="nisObject"

MAP_ATTRIBUTE="nisMapName"

ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="cn"

VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="nisMapEntry"

 

/etc/autofs/auto.master

ldap megapolis2:ou=AUTOFS,dc=domain,dc=com

 

/var/log/messages

Aug 1 09:05:30 naos kernel: automount[3206]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002b890f9f9735 rsp 00007fff9b5628c8 error 4

 

 

Can you help me to solve this problems?

Well, I hope it is not too late to answer your question. Try the following (it has worked for me in PCLOS, so I suppose it works also in Mandriva):

 

- Edit the file /etc/ldap.conf

 

- search the following line:

#uri ldap://127.0.0.1/

 

- uncomment it and replace the IP with your LDAP server's IP.

 

- reboot.

 

Hope it helps!
