Possible. I don't have any sample code for grabing stuff from the config file. I hope this would be available within the LDAP api as we don't have any way of knowing where the config may be located. > > also what is the status of autofs when it comes to using LDAPS instead > over SSL/TLS instead of just standard ldap. Drom what I've seen adding TLS support to the code is reasonably straight forward but again finding out if it's required and how, in a system independant manner is a problem. Additionally, there can be other related requirements for the exchange when using TLS. Basically, I haven't looked into this at all yet.
