The easy way would be to have an existing LDAP interface to your actual
customer database. Then following this example shouldn't be too difficult to
fetch
your customer data from your current system:

Another approach would be to export your customer data from your
actual system and import it in OTRS user database periodically. I think that it
would be easier than writing a perl module to allow OTRS to speak with your
current user DB.
