In an IRC discussion with Jakub about autofs he suggested I add ipa_automount_location inside my IPA provider. That worked fine and autofs seemed to function.

I'm unable to do the same using the SSSDConfig python interface, I get:

NoOptionError: Section [example.com] has no option [ipa_automount_location]

I tried fetching the autofs service and updating that but I get the same error:

NoOptionError: Section [autofs] has no option [ipa_automount_location]

It works for me when I set up autofs_provider=ipa in the config file.

By the way, the default automounter location is called default, which is IIRC created automatically on the IPA server, so unless you are overriding the location to a custom one, you should be fine with the defaults.

Did you find you need to change the defaults?

I wanted to use a custom location. Both need to be supported.

Confirmed that setting the autofs provider lets me set the location.

I'm wondering whether we should special-case the IPA provider in the configAPI.

Currently, only options for the providers that are explicitly set (as was the case with explicitly setting autofs_provider=ipa) can be read in the configAPI, see SSSDDomain.list_options_with_mandatory

misconfiguration with use of sssd API from Rob : Closing duplicate of ticket 1308 : will be solved by having single provider = ... which would set all id, auth, access .. etc providers automatically
