NAME

       ipa-client-automount - Configure automount and NFS for IPA

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-client-automount [OPTION]... <location>

DESCRIPTION

       Configures automount for IPA.

       The automount configuration consists of three files:

       o      /etc/nsswitch.conf

       o      /etc/sysconfig/autofs

       o      /etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf

       By  default  this will use DNS discovery to attempt to determine the IPA server(s) to use. If IPA servers
       are discovered then the automount client will be configured to use DNS discovery.

       If DNS discovery fails or a specific server is desired, use the --server option.

       The default automount location is named default. To specify a different one use the --location option.

       The IPA client must already be configured in order to configure automount. The IPA client  is  configured
       as part of a server installation.

       There  are  two  ways  to  configure  automount. The default is to use sssd to manage the automount maps.
       Alternatively autofs can configured to bind to LDAP over GSSAPI and authenticate using the machine's host
       principal.

       The  nsswitch  automount  service  is configured to use either sss or ldap and files depending on whether
       SSSD is configured or not.

       NFSv4 is also configured. The rpc.gssd and rpc.idmapd are started on clients to support  Kerberos-secured
       mounts.

OPTIONS

       --server=SERVER Set the IPA server to connect to

       --location=LOCATION
              Automount location

       -S, --no-sssd
              Do not configure the client to use SSSD for automount

       -d, --debug
              Print debugging information to stdout

       -U, --unattended
              Unattended installation. The user will not be prompted

              Restore the automount configuration files

FILES

       Files that will be always be configured:

              /etc/nsswitch.conf

       Files that will be configured when SSSD is the automount client (default):

              /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

       Files that will be configured when using the ldap automount client:

              /etc/sysconfig/autofs

              /etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf
