Patch - add locality as valid ldap master map attribute fix none

Description David Cole 2010-02-18 15:30:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

autofs can't use an automount LDAP DN using the l (localityName) attribute. With 

Entry in /etc/auto.master:

/home  ldap:automountMapName=auto_home,l=sanjose,ou=labs,dc=example,dc=com

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.102

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an automount map to LDAP using the localityName attribute
2. Point an entry in /etc/auto.master to your DN

Additional info:

With LOGGING set to debug, I see the following in /var/log/messages regarding the LDAP DN with localityName :

I have built a package with a patch that might resolve this
issue. It can be found at:
http://people.redhat.com/~ikent/autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.140.bz566481.1.el5

I haven't tested the change at all but if you want to test it out
on a test machine please do, otherwise you'll need to wait until
I get time to setup a test environment and do some tests.

The test RPM works in my test environment. The syntax error is gone and I now have a working automounter - thanks!

Thanks, I'll do some testing, when I get a chance, to see if it
breaks anything else.

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-09 18:28:30 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 8 Ric Wheeler 2011-02-01 18:14:05 UTC 
Ian, seems like this one should be fixed? Did this land in RHEL5?

Thanks!
