7
9 ipa-client-automount [OPTION]... <location>
10
12 Configures automount for IPA.
13
14 The automount configuration consists of three files:
15
16 o /etc/nsswitch.conf
17
18 o /etc/sysconfig/autofs
19
20 o /etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf
21
22
23 By default this will use DNS discovery to attempt to determine the IPA
24 server(s) to use. If IPA servers are discovered then the automount
25 client will be configured to use DNS discovery.
26
27 If DNS discovery fails or a specific server is desired, use the
28 --server option.
29
30 The default automount location is named default. To specify a different
31 one use the --location option.
32
33 The IPA client must already be configured in order to configure auto‐
34 mount. The IPA client is configured as part of a server installation.
35
36 There are two ways to configure automount. The default is to use sssd
37 to manage the automount maps. Alternatively autofs can configured to
38 bind to LDAP over GSSAPI and authenticate using the machine's host
39 principal.
40
41 The nsswitch automount service is configured to use either sss or ldap
42 and files depending on whether SSSD is configured or not.
43
44 NFSv4 is also configured. The rpc.gssd and rpc.idmapd are started on
45 clients to support Kerberos-secured mounts.
46
48 --server=SERVER Set the FQDN of the IPA server to connect to.
49
50 --location=LOCATION
51 Automount location.
52
53 -S, --no-sssd
54 Do not configure the client to use SSSD for automount.
55
56 --idmap-domain=IDMAP_DOMAIN
57 NFS domain for idmapd.conf. If unset, defaults to the IPA do‐
58 main. If set to DNS, let idmapd or nfsidmap determine the domain
59 from DNS (see idmapd(8) or nfsidmap(5) for details). If set to
60 anything else, set idmapd.conf's Domain entry to that value.
61
62 -d, --debug
63 Print debugging information to stdout.
64
65 -U, --unattended
66 Unattended installation. The user will not be prompted.
67
68 --uninstall
69 Restore the automount configuration files.
70
71
73 Files that will be always be configured:
74
75 /etc/nsswitch.conf
76
77 Files that will be configured when SSSD is the automount client (de‐
78 fault):
79
80 /etc/sssd/sssd.conf
81
82
83 Files that will be configured when using the ldap automount client:
84
85 /etc/sysconfig/autofs
86
87 /etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf
88
89
91 0 if the installation was successful
92
93 1 if an error occurred
94
95 2 if uninstalling and automount is not configured
96
97 3 if installing and automount already configured
