[Freeipa-users] [freeipa-users] Problem managing Autofs with FreeIPA

Hello,

I am attempting to configure autofs to automount home directories from an
NFS server.

I'm following these instructions as this was the only contiguous "here's
what you need to do" instructions as the FreeIPA and Fedora documentation
seems to contradict itself, and there's no clear cut a. then b. then c.
 (Admittedly, this is my first foray into managing home dirs this way, so
I'm learning all around :)  but I need a bit of direction...)

First things first, can anyone confirm these directions are correct please?


http://blog.delouw.ch/2015/03/14/using-ipa-to-provide-automount-maps-for-nfsv4-home-directories/

I'm going to assume they are for the purposes of the rest of the post.

I'm currently working with three servers:
freeipa01 - The FreeIPA server
home-dir01 - The Home directory NFS server
ipa-test01 - My test server where I'm making changes/trying to mount the
home directory.

ipa-test01 is the only CentOS 6.5 machine (no choice, it's the "production
blessed" image), freeipa01 and home-dir01 are both CentOS7.

Following those above linked instructions, I have created the following
autmount configurations:

Automount Configuration:
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# ipa automountlocation-find
>> ----------------------------
>> 1 automount location matched
>> ----------------------------
>>   Location: default
>> ----------------------------

>> ----------------------------

>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# ipa automountmap-find
>> Location: default
>> ------------------------
>> 3 automount maps matched
>> ------------------------
>>   Map: auto.direct

>>   Map: auto.home
>>
>>   Map: auto.master
>> ----------------------------
>> Number of entries returned 3
>> ----------------------------
>>
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# ipa automountkey-find default auto.home
>> -----------------------
>> 1 automount key matched
>> -----------------------
>>   Key: *
>>   Mount information: -fstype=nfs4,rw,sec=krb5,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
home-dir01.sub.domain.mydomain.com:/exports/home/&
>> ----------------------------
>> Number of entries returned 1
>> ----------------------------

Exports configuration:

>> [root at home-dir01 home]# cat /etc/exports
>> /exports/home  *(rw,no_root_squash,sec=sys:krb5:krb5i:krb5p)



At some point I generated this error.  I have been unable to reproduce
it...  Included for completeness of my reporting but I don't think it's
currently an issue.

>> Feb  1 15:43:19 ipa-test01 rpc.gssd[1371]: ERROR: No credentials found
for connection to server home-dir01.sub.domain.mydomain.com


Without an entry in /etc/hosts I receive the following error when
attempting to login as my domain user:

>> Feb  1 16:22:13 ipa-test01 kernel: type=1105 audit(1454361733.209:125):

So I added the entry in /etc/hosts for my nfs server (will fix in DNS, but
we use 3rd party DNS service that is not integrated with AD...), I get the
following error (repeated attempts to sudo), note the "res=success"

These are the corresponding attempts to change user:

>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# sudo -iu jona at mydomain.com
>> sudo: unable to change directory to /home/mydomain.com/jona: No such
file or directory
>> sudo: unable to execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# sudo -iu jona at mydomain.com
>> sudo: unable to change directory to /home/mydomain.com/jona: No such
file or directory
>> sudo: unable to execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# sudo -iu jona at mydomain.com
>> sudo: unable to change directory to /home/mydomain.com/jona: No such
file or directory
>> sudo: unable to execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory

So clearly, it's not mounting the homedir, but I'm not producing any kind
of error message...  Note that I have no problem mounting this directory
manually (with or without an entry in my /etc/hosts):

>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# mount home-dir01.sub.domain.mydomain.com:/exports/home/
/home/
>> home-dir01.sub.domain.mydomain.com:/exports/home/ on /home type nfs
(rw,vers=4,addr=2605:1c00:50f2:300a:aaaa:56ff:ffff:442a,clientaddr=2605:1c00:50f2:300a:aaaa:56ff:ffff:dbf6)



Interestingly enough, when I create an /etc/auto.home, I'm able to mount my
home dir without issues:

>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# cat /root/auto.home
>> * -fstype=nfs,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid,tcp 192.168.10.250:
/exports/home/&
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# cp /root/auto.home /etc/
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# service autofs restart
>> Stopping automount:                                        [  OK  ]
>> Starting automount:                                        [  OK  ]
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# sudo -iu jona at mydomain.com
>> -sh-4.1$ pwd
>> /home/mydomain.com/jona
>> -sh-4.1$ mount | grep home
>> /dev/mapper/rootvg-home on /home type ext4 (rw,nodev)
>> 192.168.10.250:/exports/home/mydomain.com on /home/mydomain.com type nfs
(rw,nosuid,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp,sloppy,vers=4,addr=192.168.10.250,clientaddr=192.168.10.84)
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# rm /etc/auto.home
>> rm: remove regular file `/etc/auto.home'? y
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# service autofs restart
>> Stopping automount:                                        [  OK  ]
>> Starting automount:                                        [  OK  ]
>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# sudo -iu jona at mydomain.com
>> sudo: unable to change directory to /home/mydomain.com/jona: No such
file or directory
>> sudo: unable to execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory


But I think this counts as part of the "files" in the line in my
nsswitch.conf:

>> [root at ipa-test01 ~]# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep automount
>> automount: sss files


If I'm understanding correctly, the server should pull all of this
information from LDAP on where to mount from/to and should not have a local
configuration file for dealing with "LDAP Managed" mount points.

At this point I'm stumped.  None of the guides or previous mailing lists
seem to discuss this specific issue...  Can anyone provide some further
ideas for troubleshooting my setup please?


Also, because I'm working with an AD domain, my login credentials are
jona at mydomain.com which means my home directory is /home/mydomain.com/jona,
so when any user from the AD domain logs into this server, all home dirs
will be mounted since we're mounting home-dir01:/exports/home/mydomain.com
to ipa-test01:/home/mydomain.com, right?  Is there anyway to force more
granular mounting of home directories?

Thanks for the assistance!

Best Regards,
Jon A
