[Freeipa-users] IPA Automount cross-location support

Hi,

IPA Automount configuration: Is it possible to reference an automount 
map from another location? E.g. under Policy -> Automount -> Add map -> 
Parent Map: <reference to other location>.auto.data

Example: Let's say you have the following automount locations defined in 
IPA: NewYork, Washington, Miami. Each location has it's own auto.data 
map mounted under /data.

Then making a common automount map in all the locations called 
auto.global, mounted at /global, each referencing the auto.data maps 
from the different IPA locations?

/global/washington -> Washington's auto.data map
/global/newyork -> NewYork's auto.data map
/global/miami -> Miami's auto.data map

I'm not looking for the configuration of the /global map to be 
automatic, a manual configuration for pointing to each locations 
auto.data map would do just fine.

Any suggestions?



Regards,
Siggi
