[5.4]The automount aborts when it authenticates by DIGEST-MD5.
Resolution

5.4.z async errata has been released for cyrus-sasland autofs:
Diagnostic Steps
This problem can be reproduced by just one machine. We configure both an ldap
server and an automount client on a machine.
- 1.Set to autofs_ldap_auth.conf for using DIGEST-MD5.
# vi /etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
...
<autofs_ldap_sasl_conf
usetls="no"
tlsrequired="no"
authrequired="yes"
authtype="DIGEST-MD5"
user="sasluser"
secret="rootpass"
/>
- 2.Run the createuser.sh(attached) to create many user and the user data on
the ldap server.
# createuser.sh 1000 2000
- 3.Activate the ldap entry.
# ldapadd -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W -c -f manyuser.ldif
- 4.Run the following commands to start up the automount with debug mode.
# service autofs stop
# automount -dvf
- 5.Run the multiaccess.sh(attached) so that the system load is higher.
# ./multiaccess.sh 1000 2000
