Bug description:
  Confirmation of bug #1626749 regarding $USER token substitution
  problem in autofs. Even when the $USER token was replaced with a valid
  username for the share, autofs was unable to mount shares using
  certificates, nor could sshfs. These programs reverted to password
  authentication instead. The reason for mounting with certificates
  instead of passwords is security, of course.

This is my experience as well. I believe this was part of the original bug,
but the important issue is that because $USER does not work, automated file
system attaches using user credentials do not work. (Or to make them work,
we would have to have an autofs.conf file with special-case logic for every
possible user, contrary to the point of the utility.)

Or, we could drop the user certificate logins and use root login with share
passwords, defeating the security of the shares. Therefore the bug is a
security issue, and the priority should be upped accordingly.

I don't think this is a duplicate bug, or rather, I am not affected by
this one and am by #1626749. On my side, replacing $USER by my username
works. I have 2 identical lines in autofs, one with
credentials=/home/$USER/.credentials (fails as it looks for
/home/root/.credentials), one with
credentials=/home/myusername/.credentials (works just fine for me).
