We're currently making the switch from OpenLDAP to Freeipa. Clients are Ubuntu 16
(upgrading to 18 soon).
With FREEIPA, we can automount user home dirs (NFS) successfully with a single map, using
auto.home
** However, on our current OpenLDAP system, there are groups of users, which effectively
have different automount options, such as:
nfsserver.example.com:/export/groupX/&
whereas the "X" is:
groupA: user1, user2, user3
groupB: user4, user5, user6
groupC, user7, user8, user9
We accomplish this by using nismapentry in OpenLAP.
Another way to look at it is, can a particular user in FREEIPA, be assigned a different
NFS server, based on their userid?
Realizing that nismaps are not available in freeipa, is there a similar feature that we
haven't found yet?
