Did not try the variable expansion for ages, but it definitely works with maps in NIS.
Also, did you consider using asterisk (*) for autofs maps expansion? It works perfectly,
even with ldap/sssd.
But as Jakub said - this has nothing to do with sssd, this is just automounter-specific
thing.

the new question i have is around variable expansion. it seems that i am missing
something about how to do it right. when i attempt to use $USER, say in /home/$USER, with
a mountpoint of Music under it, the literal path /home/$USER is created. i have tried
/home/$USER, /home ${USER} and /home /{$USER} and in each case, the literal path was
created on disk. the variable expansion do not occur and /home/<my_user_id>/Music
was not automounted as per the autofs directives.
To be honest, I don't really know..does the same setup work if you just swap ldap for
sss?
The thing is that SSSD just fetches the maps and keys and lets automounter do the work. In
case of autofs caching, sssd is more or less a dumb proxy.
how do i get variable expansion to work when using SSSD?
