Hi Ian,
I just found out that when using DNS RRs to find a suitable ldapserver to connect to, we do not handle correctly the situation where the
multiple servers are found. We end up with something like this:
automount[2712]: find_server: trying server uri ldap://dccorka.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389 ldap://dclisaa.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389
ldap://dcdub1.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389 ldap://dcduba.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389 ldap://dcdubb.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389
ldap://dcpra1.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389 ldap://dcsjc1.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389 ldap://dcsjca.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389
ldap://dcwro1.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389 ldap://dccork1.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389
Looking at the source code, this uri does not look valid to me.
Ok "man auto.master" says that LDAP_URI might contain "A space seperated list of server uris of the form <proto>://<server>[/]", but
ldap_initialize() does not look like it actually supports this - a single server is assumed instead.
Can you clarify this?
In my case above, if connection to ldap://dccorka.dublin.ad.s3group.com:389
fails, autofs never tries the other servers in the list.
Many thanks & happy new year!
Ondrej
