The data in the following four entries defines the nisObject automount schema,
the complete entries are:
• attributeTypes:( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.26 NAME ’nisMapName’ DESC ’Standard
LDAP attribute type’ SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 X-ORIGIN
’RFC 2307’)
• attributeTypes:( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.27 NAME ’nisMapEntry’ DESC ’Standard
LDAP attribute type’ SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 X-ORIGIN
’RFC 2307’)
• objectClasses:( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.10 NAME ’nisObject’ DESC ’Standard
LDAP objectclass’ SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST (cn $ nisMapEntry $
nisMapName )MAY (description) X-ORIGIN ’RFC2307’)
• objectClasses:( 1.3.6.1.1.1.2.13 NAME ’nisMap’ DESC ’Standard LDAP
objectclass’ SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST ( nisMapName )MAY (description)
X-ORIGIN ’RFC2307’)
Skip this step if above four entries for the nisObject automount schema do not
exist on the LDAP directory server.
Skip to step 6 if the nisObject automount schema exists on the LDAP directory,
but you do not want to use it.
Otherwise, if the nisObject automount schema for storing AutoFS maps is being
used on the directory server and you want to continue to use it, set up attribute
mappings on your LDAP-UX client system. For more information, refer to the
"Attribute Mappings" section of Chapter 2 of the LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.00
Administrator’s Guide available at the following web site:

Step 6. Configure the Name Service Switch (NSS) to enable AutoFS for LDAP support.
Save a copy of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and modify the original to add an
entry for LDAP support to the automount service as follows:
automount: ldap
The following shows the sample file, /etc/nsswitch.ldap:
passwd: files ldap
group: files ldap
hosts: dns files ldap
networks: files ldap
protocols: files ldap
rpc: files ldap
