I couldn't reproduce the bug in my environment. I asked Yi to provide more information or access to test systems.

I have tried configure an autofs client that has no ipa client and ipa sssd involved. The directory : [NFS server:/share/pub] does map to: [Autofs client: /ipashare27656/pub]

This problem was originally reported targeting ipa-client-automount. (https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3201)

However, after retest with added option "--no-sssd", the autofs did work as expected. The conclusion is that this is a sssd bug.

The actual autofs mount is wrong. Let's say there is a sub-directory named "pub" under "/share" on NFS server. Based on above autofs configuration, the NFS server directory "/share/pub" suppose to be mounted on autofs client "/ipashare27656/pub". However, the actual mounted structure is "/share/pub/pub"

I have tried configure an autofs client that has no ipa client and ipa sssd involved. The directory : [NFS server:/share/pub] does map to: [Autofs client: /ipashare27656/pub]

Yi confirmed that the setup was working for him as well now.
