Title:
  Cannot publish a CA certificate over NFSv4

Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have all my users into an OpenLDAP directory, which is only
  accessible through LDAPS. The CA certificate is provided as a NFS
  export, so that I do not have it to copy to each machine.

  This works fine with NFSv3, but not with NFSv4, because the idmapper
  has to known the users, but before the mount is done LDAP is not
  accessible. After the mount it is, but it is too late for the idmapper
  and files are shown as nobody. Each NFSv4 mount that follows does also
  not known the right users and groups.

  To work around this I now export the CA certificate with NFSv3. This
  way the idmapper knows all users and groups at the first NFSv4 mount
  and all directories and files have the correct users and groups. But I
  wish to use NFSv4 only.

  I am using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 on both, the server and the client. Packages are:
  nfs-common: 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.2
  nfs-kernel-server: 1:1.1.2-2ubuntu2.2 (only on the server of course)
