      Ok sorry for the long delay. I had to spin up a new IPA server since I don't have one running at home any more. Here's how the configs will work.

      Initial indirect mount set up:

      List of mounts:

      Under auto.home, here is the key setup:

      0_1483057671999_keys.png

      The * and & are wildcards and it will search the NFS export for the username you are logged in with and replace the & with it.

      The home directory for the user needs to be set to use the automount:

        Since I'm using Puppet/Ansible, I don't really rely on the autofs setup from LDAP any longer. They don't change that often, so I just use the files. Puppet sticks all of my configs in the dump directory (auto.master.d) and adds the auto.whatever files in /etc for me. If there is a change, it will restart the autofs service automatically. The files seem to be more reliable than pulling from LDAP, but that's just anecdotal.

          Thank you so much , i have configured the IPA Server as you did , but in the Ubuntu client when i run the command

          ipa-client-automount

          i have the below error :

          root@cs1:~# ipa-client-automount

            @AlyRagab i also edited the /etc/nsswitch as " automount: files sss "
            but the same problem , even i use the normal autofs configuration in ubuntu i could not automount the home directory.

              After setting the local files did you restart rpcidmapd and rpcgssd?

              You might have to set the automount to mount NFS version 3. I set up authentication once for an Ubuntu machine but not automounting. Everything I have is RHEL.

              If you can't get the files working either I'd suspect it's something to do with Ubuntu.

              If you're not using krb5p or krb5i you could just tell it to use NFS version 3 by default.

                i could not find the rpcidmapd and rpcgssd services
                also i can mount the NFS share manually without any problem!

                    So first I'd run

                    ipa-client-automount --uninstall

                    Then I'd set the configs like this:

                    auto.master

                     /home/ipa          /etc/auto.home

                    auto.home

                    *                   nfsserver:/<path-for-user-dir>/&

                    Then restart autofs

                    systemctl restart autofs

                        Ha that's a good question. I stick with RHEL based products when I can.
