Public bug reported:

I have all my users into an OpenLDAP directory, which is only accessible
through LDAPS. The CA certificate is provided as a NFS export, so that I
do not have it to copy to each machine.

This works fine with NFSv3, but not with NFSv4, because the idmapper has
to known the users, but before the mount is done LDAP is not accessible.
After the mount it is, but it is too late for the idmapper and files are
shown as nobody. Each NFSv4 mount that follows does also not known the
right users and groups.

To work around this I now export the CA certificate with NFSv3. This way
the idmapper knows all users and groups at the first NFSv4 mount and all
directories and files have the correct users and groups. But I wish to
use NFSv4 only.

I am using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 on both, the server and the client. Packages are:
nfs-common: 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.2
nfs-kernel-server: 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.2 (only on the server of course)
