What I meant was, there are currently three standard methods for implementing LDAP auth on RT: 1. Apache 2. RT::Authen::ExternalAuth 3. User_Local overlay (Jim Meyer). The method you want (the overlay method) is detailed at http://wiki.bestpractical.com/OldLDAP and it links to the overlay page which is here: http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/LdapUserLocalOverlay However, the page you were looking at (AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo) is even older than that and is what Jim based his work on. So, while you can use whatever you want, for a simple overlay I'd recommend Jim's, and for a complete up to date solution I'd recommend RT::Authen::ExternalAuth -- 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.
