Description David Walser 2011-12-31 19:13:26 CET

I have automounter maps stored in LDAP on an LDAP server.  On a Mageia 1 client upgraded from MDV 2010.2, ldap and autofs config are the same; it worked on MDV 2010.2 and before, doesn't on Mageia 1.

This is what /etc/autofs/autofs.conf looks like:
TIMEOUT=300
BROWSE_MODE="yes"
MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="automountMap"
ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="automount"
MAP_ATTRIBUTE="ou"
ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="cn"
VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="automountInformation"

Running automount -vdf shows the errors I'm getting.  Here's the end of the output:
bind_ldap_simple: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP server
do_bind: lookup(ldap): ldap simple bind returned -1
do_bind: lookup(ldap): auth_required: 1, sasl_mech (null)
bind_ldap_simple: lookup(ldap): Unable to bind to the LDAP server: (default), error Can't contact LDAP server
do_bind: lookup(ldap): ldap simple bind returned -1
lookup(ldap): couldn't connect to server default
lookup(file): failed to read included master map auto.master
no mounts in table

Running an ldapsearch command to read other things from the LDAP server works fine.

Can you provide the logs from the LDAP server, running with at least the 'stats' logging level?

Comment 3 David Walser 2012-01-10 16:06:52 CET

When running with 'stats' logging level, I do get some log output when I do getent passwd on the client (which works).  I don't get any log output when I do automount -vdf on the client.

Configuring BASE and HOST in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf fixed it.  Strange.
