Hi,

Yes the DUA profile needs manually editing and updating as IPA servers are 
added or removed. Ideally this would be managed by ipa-replica-manage, however 
as I was advised in the BZ, Red Hat does not have the knowledge or resources to 
focus on integration with Solaris, which is understandable. :)

The DUA profile I’ve uploaded to the BZ is a copy (with server names edited), 
of the DUA profile I1ve used at several environments when configuring Solaris 
10 to work with IPA, so unless there are typos I haven’t discovered, it would 
work ok. :)

As for the auto mount, Linux uses “.” between auto and the map name, such as 
auto.master, auto.home, etc. And Solaris uses “_” between the auto and the map 
name, such as auto_master, auto_home.

This can be worked around in the DUA profile by adding a 
searchServiceDescriptor for each auto mounter map, such as 
"serviceSearchDescriptor: 
auto_master:automountMapName=auto.master,cn=defualt,cn=automount,dc=ix,dc=test,dc=com”.

What I found as the best middle ground here, was to keep the master name 
auto.master and have a serviceSearchDescriptor in the DUA profile for 
auto.master, and have the remaining maps in IPA with “_”as the separator. This 
works the best as Linux will look for auto.master by default, and be happy with 
the other maps being referred to with “_”as separator. Solaris seem to require 
that all the maps  use “_”as seperator, unless serviceSearchDescriptor entries 
are added for each map.

I hope this was what you we’re looking for?


Regards,
Siggi
