Hi, I'm afraid the auto.master name is currently hardcoded. When we were designing the automounter integration with the autofs maintainer, we decided that it's not really worth it because there seemed to be nobody using that option (then). Even now I think it falls into a "nice-to-have-patches-welcome" bucket. If you wanted to take a look into that one, below is a summary of what would need to be done, feel free to ping us on #sssd or ask again here or the devel list. If it was enough for you to have the alias on the ldap side and let the automounter deamon still request auto.master (which I think would be nice to keep all the other map sources working), then adding the option amounts to all the places the options are tracked at, in this case primarily to struct rfc2307_autofs_mobject_map and struct rfc2307bis_autofs_entry_map in src/providers/ldap/ldap_opts.h. The upstream commit fae99bfe4bfc8b4a12e9c2a0ad01b3684c22f934 is a nice and easy one that adds a new option, maybe that could get you started. Then the check for map invalidation would have to be moved from be_autofs_handler() to sdap_autofs_handler() and use the value of the new option instead of the hardcoded one using dp_opt_get_string. Any new provider would have to use its own similar option in the future (which is not a big deal I think, currently all existing identity providers are LDAP-based). _______________________________________________ sssd-users mailing list sssd-users@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/sssd-users
