Known Problems and Workarounds
The following is a list of known problems and appropriate workarounds for AutoFS with
LDAP support:
Problem
The positive and negative cache timeout lengths are fairly long. Therefore, if a map is
changed, or a map is added or removed from the LDAP directory, the change may not take
effect immediately. It may cause data inconsistency between the LDAP directory and the
cache as the cache may have the previous state information.
Workaround
Each time a map is changed, use the ldapclientd -f command to flush all LDAP-UX
caches. For more information, refer to the “Client Daemon Performance” section of Chapter 4
of the LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00 Administrator’s Guide available at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/internet.
Problem
A problem occurs on the LDAP-UX Client setup program when asking to install the new
automount schema or performing attribute mappings. When the window screen size is 24
lines, the prompt for asking the LDAP-UX service may not be given and is a blank line
instead. For example, when initially running the setup, the profile schema, the LDAP printer
schema and automount schema have not been imported into the LDAP directory, the prompt
for asking to install the new automount schema is not given and is a blank line.
Workaround
You can increase the number of lines to more than 24 for a window screen when running
LDAP-UX Client setup program.
