[Freeipa-users] automount questions

[Ondrej Valousek]

Your LDAP_URI is incorrect. Please make sure you follow the documentation exactly.
Perhaps you actually wanted to say:

LDAP_URI="ldap:///dc=ipa,dc=domain,dc=nx"

Alternatively, if you do not specify the LDAP_URI parameter at all, autofs will try SRV lookup against your default dnsdomain.
Also, there is no nee for debugging automount with -d now, you can also try:

automount -m

which causes automount to dump all tables.
