I'm going down the route of integrating a new RT 3.8.1 install in to a Windows 2003 Active Directory environment, and after going through the wiki web of information, I found that the "proper" method is now RT::Authen::ExternalAuth. That was, unfortunately, after I tried several other methods. :(
Anyhow, I saw a couple of postings on the list (specifically: http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-users/2008-July/052959.html), and managed to get things configured, but not functioning. :( I am able to successfully ldapsearch : ldapsearch -LLL -x -D "CN=Administrator,OU=IT Department,OU=Users,DC=ourdomain,DC=local" -w ourpasswd -h ad.ourdomain.local "(objectClass=Person)" -b "dc=ourdomain,dc=local" And I tried a couple of different variants for searching with command line success: (objectClass=*), (sAMAccountName=user) However, I cannot seem to get it to work for RT. I'm getting "Your username or password is incorrect" after only a few seconds of processing. Probably the thing preventing me from debugging this further is.. well.. I'm not sure how to turn up the volume on the debugging. The most I am seeing in the logs is the login failure. Any ideas? Thanks! -Rich RT_SiteConfig.pm contains: # The order in which the services defined in ExternalSettings # should be used to authenticate users.
