How to enable Automount / Auto.home in NIS/YP Makefile ? (/var/yp/ Makefile

Hi,

I am trying to set up NIS on 12.1-RELEASE-p10 . Looks like I have to enable the auto.home option in /var/yp/Makefile to mount home folders on a NIS client. Can you share me the info how to add the same in /var/yp/Makefile .. I am able to successfully log on a NIS client without mounting the home folder.

Code: 
root@Num1:/var/yp # ypcat auto.home
ypcat: no such map auto.home. Reason: No such map in server's domain
root@Num1:/var/yp #

[root@nisclient ~]# ypcat passwd | grep yamaha
yamaha:*:1004:1004:YM:/mnt/yahama:/bin/bash
[root@nisclient ~]# ypcat auto.home
No such map auto.home. Reason: No such map in server's domain
[root@nisclient ~]# su - yamaha

Hello All,

my setup is small so setting up NIS on Freebsd 12 but i searched in Forums and Google and there is no answer for my above question.
There is no proper document that how to enable auto.home by using /var/ypMakefile.

Your comments are really appreciated..

also i was searching "how to setup ldap server on Freebsd / 12 " and there is no information in Google.
