My users are stored in an external MySQL database. I wanted to do direct authentication against that MySQL database with an RT custom authentication module, but it seems that none exist for MySQL and there is no way to point RT at a different table to its own for authentication that I can see.
So, with a heavy heart, I am settling on using mod_auth_mysql for authentication, but the problem is that there is no way I can see for mod_auth_mysql to pass e-mail addresses into RT. What this means is that, short of recoding and re-compiling a custom mod_auth_mysql, I have to find a place to insert code just after WebExternalAuth has picked up the username and password from apache and then perform a manual lookup direct to the u/p database to pick up the e-mail address that goes with the user that was just authenticated so that when the user is created, it is created with a valid e-mail address. But I do not know how. ALTERNATIVELY -- if _/*ANYONE*/_ can aid in the development of a custom MySQL authentication module that can read in u/p/e from a mysql table and perform direct auth on it, it would completely solve all my problems. -- Kind Regards, __________________________________________________ Mike Peachey, IT Tel: +44 114 281 2655 Fax: +44 114 281 2951 Jennic Ltd, Furnival Street, Sheffield, S1 4QT, UK Comp Reg No: 3191371 - Registered In England http://www.jennic.com __________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
