Jim,

I now have your overlay working to auth and lookup/autocreate users
against AD now. I have a couple of questions:

1) It appears that the only way to have an account auto created is if a
user sends an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which opens a ticket in the
general/default queue). While I think auto account creation on web login
would be better this will still work fine. Is there a way around a
ticket being created for the first email a user sends? I'd rather a user
get an email saying their account has been created rather than a ticket
opening up just to have an account created. (This will require people to
go find and kill those dubious tickets). 

2) When a new user sends an email to RT right now, their account is
created with the email address from ad/ldap. Is there a way to have the
overlay create the account with just the user, rather than
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Thanks for your work on this overlay. 

-Matt

I do have notes in the install instructions of the LDAP page which
specify that, for Windows Active Directory, you must map the "Name"
attribute to "sAMAccountName". In order to draw more attention to
that, though, I've added a wiki page to further explain how to set
$RT::LdapAttrMap properly:

  http://wiki.bestpractical.com/?LdapAttrMap

Please let me know if that doesn't help enough; also, please feel free
to extend the Active Directory chunk of that page as I don't know the
first thing about it other than it seems to generate a lot of
questions here lately. ;]

Cheers!
