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

> I checked your example DUAConfigProfile and I think it cannot be just added to FreeIPA right away. E.g. for defaultServerList or preferredServerList, you would need to expand installers and ipa-replica-manage to handle these lists and update them when replica is added or updated to prevent it being outdated. printers or aliases serviceSearchDescriptor refers to objects not being available and so on. It is not as straightforward as it seems.
