#2607 sssd should not always read entire autofs map from ldap
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 9 years ago by henson.

Currently sssd always reads the entire autofs map from ldap, even when that is not necessary. This makes using sssd with large maps infeasible.

Rather than always reading the entire map, sssd should lookup individual entries as needed when getautomntbyname is called, and only pull in the entire map when getautomntent is called.

This is equivalent to how autofs works with its native ldap backend and will be much more efficient for indirect maps as well as allowing large maps to work without excessive load and resource utilization.

It appears the sss autofs backend does not need any modification, as it already passes through getautomntbyname, the only change is on the sssd side.


Legitimate request, but so far out of scope of 1.13

milestone: NEEDS_TRIAGE => SSSD 1.14 beta

Unfortunately the autofs responder/provider work is still not started and we need to release the 1.14 version soon. Therefore, I'm bumping this ticket to the next version.
