Just an FYI for others stuck authenticating against Novell eDir and using the lame non-password ldap_proxy accounts I had to make the changes you were thinking about (sorry for the lack of a proper diff file): /opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth/LDAP.pm 455 # Authenticate to ldap server with user name and password if supplied 456 # If no password supplied to not pass a null or bind anonymously if noting was supplied 457 if (($ldap_user) and ($ldap_pass)) { 458 $msg = $ldap->bind($ldap_user, password => $ldap_pass); 459 } elsif (($ldap_user) and ( ! $ldap_pass)) { 460 $msg = $ldap->bind($ldap_user); 461 } else { 462 $msg = $ldap->bind; 463 } RHEL5 RT 3.8.1 ExternalAuth 0.0.7_01 CookieAuth EmailCompletion -- ************************************* John McCoy, Jr Sr. Systems and Network Administrator Enterprise Technology Services Golden Gate University 415-442-6560 ************************************* _______________________________________________ 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.
