[Bug 691617] New: Add ldap search base option to /etc/sysconfig/autofs
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691617 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691617#c0 Summary: Add ldap search base option to /etc/sysconfig/autofs Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joschibrauchle@gmx.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.57 Safari/534.24 The kernel automounter can be configured to query an LDAP server for autofs maps. This is all well documented. But unfortunately an option to configure the search base dn is not documented and should be added to /etc/sysconfig/autofs: -------------- ## Description: base dn to use for searching for map search dn. ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # Multiple entries can be given and they are checked # in the order they occur here. # SEARCH_BASE="" -------------- Usage scenario: Autofs accesses LDAP with a restricted proxy user defined in /etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf. This user is not allowed to search the base dn of the server, but only the autofs subtree. Thus, one needs an option to specify this subtree, which exists in the SEARCH_BASE variable but is not documented anywhere. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Restrict autofs-LDAP-access to a specific DN 2. Start autofs Actual Results: autofs fails to find maps as access to LDAP base dn is denied. Expected Results: /etc/sysconfig/autofs should contain the SEARCH_BASE variable to specify the autofs subtree in LDAP. Then autofs will succeed in reading its maps from LDAP. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
