A directory (X.500 and LDAPv3) schema for Berkely automounter

1. Status of this Memo

.fi
.in 3
This memo describes a directory (LDAP or X.500) schema for storing
amd (Berkely-style automounter) mount info maps. The schema is currently 
beeing supported by the (beta version of the) am-utils version 6 package 
[AMUTILS]. 

.ti 0
2. Overview and Rationale

Directory services such as X.500 [X500] or LDAP [RFC2251] are a natural
choice of repository for amd mount map databases. All Object Identifiers 
in this document are prefixed by amdSchema-id to be assigned later. The 
relation between this schema and the automount schema elements in [HOWARD] 
are mostly superficial. The model for the elements in [HOWARD] was the SUN
automounter which has quite a different syntax for mount maps. Furthermore 
the intended usage of this schema differs from that of [HOWARD] in many 
respects.

.ti 0
3. DSA requirements

Directory servers implementing this schema SHOULD maintain the 
modifyTimestamp operational attribute. If not the amdMapCacheTtl 
attribute SHOULD be set to 0 indicating to clients that caching of
map entries SHOULD be turned off. Clients wishing to use the amdMap 
schema MAY use the modifyTimestamp information to set the ttl for 
internal caching schemes. A value of 0 for the amdMapCacheTtl must 
result in clients turning off any local caching.

4. Syntax definitions

The following attribute syntax is defined in this document:

     amdlocationlist

This syntax represents a amd map value. This is the syntax expressed
in BNF using definitions from [RFC2252]:

     amdlocationlist      = amdlocationselection |
                            amdlocationlist whsp "||" whsp amdlocationselection

     amdlocationselection = amdlocation |
                            amdlocationselection whsp amdlocation
 
     amdlocation          = amdlocationinfo |
                            "-" amdlocationinfo |
                            "-"
  
     amdlocationinfo      = seloropt |
                            amdlocationinfo ";" seloropt |
                            ";"

     seloropt             = seletion |
                            optass

     selection            = keystring "==" printablestring
                            keystring "!=" printablestring

     optass               = keystring \":=\" printablestring

X.500 servers or LDAPv3 servers (supporting the binary attribute 
option) may use the following syntax definition:

     AmdLocationList ::= SEQUENCE OF {
                            SEQUENCE OF {
                               location     AmdLocation
                            }
                         }

     AmdLocation     ::= SET OF {
                            CHOICE {
                               location     [0] AmdLocationInfo
                               notlocation  [1] AmdLocationInfo
                               not          [2] NULL
                            }
                         }
   
     AmdLocationInfo ::= SET OF {
                            CHOICE {
                               selection    [0] AmdSelection
                               option       [1] AmdOption
                            }
                         }
                               
     AmdSelection    ::= CHOICE {
                            eq     [0] AttributeAndValue
                            ne     [1] AttributeAndValue
                         }

     AmdOption       ::= AttributeAndValue
	                                   
     AttributeAndValue ::= SEQUENCE {
                              attribute     IA5String
                              value         IA5String
                           }

8. Security Considerations

Due to the security problems posed by NFS care should be taken not to
advertise exported filesystems. Therefore it is often desirable to limit 
access to entries carrying amd mount map information to those systems
to which the corresponding filesystems have been exported.
