I've been tasked with finding a way to login to our RT system by validating our cookies against a local database and then submitting a valid user name as a login token to RT. The object is to write a single sign on plugin that validates against a secure database for a large number of diverse applications.
RT has facilities to query LDAP and DBI databases with ExternalAuth and it also has the ability to read a cookie and validate it against a database of users and user IDs with CookieAuth but it doesn't seem to have a method for allowing me do to my own user validation and then simply submitting a user name as a valid login token. RT retains the power of the query for user validation. (Correct?) I think in order to do this I will need to do some major Mason-ary work and before I propose a project of that size to my customer, I wanted to get confirmation that this is the only way to get RT to follow our local login model.
