Hey Y'all,
For the last week or more I've been trying to get NFS and OpenLDAP to play nice with each other. I've pretty much worn the Google machine out trying to find a solution. I've found several that said "Solved" but none of those solutions solved my nobody:nobody problem.
In the past I've used NFS in conjunction with NIS to share home directories from my NFS server but I read that NIS is deprecated in favor of LDAP so, being a sucker for new ideas, I decided I would use LDAP too like the big boys do. I think I'm regretting this decision. Now the question:
Is there something I need to configure on the client side of the relationship that all the Google wisdom has failed to mention? All the guides/tutorial/etc... talk extensively about configuring the server, many giving conflicting information, but have nothing to say about the client. I've even found a couple that talk about configuring CentOS 6 but contain commands found only in CentOS 7. Makes one go hmmm?
Here's the basic details: Server: CentOS 6 openldap-2.4.40-16.el6.i686 openldap-clients-2.4.40-16.el6.x86_64 perl-LDAP-0.40-3.el6.noarch sssd-ldap-1.13.3-60.el6_10.2.x86_64 openldap-2.4.40-16.el6.x86_64 openldap-servers-2.4.40-16.el6.x86_64 python-ldap-2.3.10-1.el6.x86_64 apr-util-ldap-1.3.9-3.el6_0.1.x86_64 smbldap-tools-0.9.6-4.el6.noarch nfs-utils-lib-1.1.5-13.el6.x86_64 nfs4-acl-tools-0.3.3-8.el6.x86_64 nfs-utils-1.2.3-78.el6_10.1.x86_64
Client: CentOS 7 KVM VM running on the server sssd-ldap-1.16.2-13.el7_6.5.x86_64 python-ldap-2.4.15-2.el7.x86_64 openldap-2.4.44-21.el7_6.x86_64 nfs4-acl-tools-0.3.3-19.el7.x86_64 nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.61.el7.x86_64 libnfsidmap-0.25-19.el7.x86_64
Both machines are fully updated.
Would you like to see any of the myriad of configuration files for these applications? Just ask and you shall receive. Please be sure to tell me if you want the file from the server or the client hey.
