RHEL5 automount against LDAP Maps using basic authentication

RHEL5 automount against LDAP Maps using basic authentication

[Breitman, Jason]

Has anyone successfully configured automount to use maps in LDAP when the LDAP Server requires basic authentication?

I am struggling and would appreciate some help. 

Thanks.

Do you mean simple authenticated bind?

We have recently had a patch contributed for that but it is entirely
untested and so stuck waiting in the queue.

Why haven't you logged a bug with RedHat?

It won't get into RHEL if you don't and if you do you have every chance
of getting a test package with this patch ported to the version of
autofs you are using.

Automounter (as it currently stays) can not do simple authenticated 
binds against LDAP server. It can only do various types of SASL binds, 
so check out what type of SASL authentication your LDAP server supports....
