I also run into this issue. You should send this to nss_ldap mailing
list.

The nss_ldap could not handle auto mount objects from the LDAP tree, it
is also a big headache to me. Let's hope it is coming soon.....

For now, could you create the auto maps locally on the system? When the
user logon, his home path from the LDAP tree will use the local auto
maps to mount the dir. You also need to run the automount daemon.

Subject: [pamldap] map attribute based on an ldap request


hello

how can I map the homeDirectory attribute to a different attribute 
depending on the user who is logging.
I know the "unique/simple" way to map the attribute in /etc/ldap.conf
nss_map_attribute homeDirectory homeDirectoryDept01

But here, my server gives acces to users who have a central 
homeDirectory, plus a specific homeDirectoryDept01(02,03 ...) depending 
on the departement they live in . On their own stations, they automount 
via NFS that departement homedir, so I have
nss_map_attribute homeDirectory homeDirectoryDept01 in the station 
/etc/ldap.conf
but if they connect to the central data server through samba, I want 
them to access their homeDirectoryDeptXX homeDir, but the /etc/ldap.conf

file on that central data server is unique to everyone !
how can I tell pam/NSS on that server to map the homeDirectory attrbute 
to a homeDirectoryDeptXX attribute for people who gidNumber=XX 
(DepartementNumber=XX , more generally based on ldap request)  for
example.

thanks.
