I'm not sure what the LDAP auth support was in 3.6.x, I'm using the ExternalAuth plugin (v0.8) with RT 3.8.x with no issues. > My 3.6.4 RT_SiteConfig "Auth" settings show the following: Again, not sure about 3.6's LDAP support, so I can't comment on that...but the documentation seems to imply that all LDAP auth support was moved out of RT and is now soley supported by the ExternalAuth plugin. > So, for 3.8.6 I set up my RT_SiteConfig settings to this: > # Now what follows are the settings for LDAP Authorization > Set($AuthMethods, ['My_LDAP', 'Internal']); > Set($ExternalAuthPriority, ['My_LDAP']); > Set($ExternalInfoPriority, ['My_LDAP']); > Set($LdapExternalAuth, 1); # enable LDAP authentication/lookups > Set($LdapAutoCreateNonLdapUsers, 0); > Set($CanonicalizeOnCreate , 0); > Set($LdapTLS, 1); > Set($LdapSSLVersion, 3); Doesn't appear correct for ExternalAuth's configuration, once you install ExternalAuth you can look at a sample config file in local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm I'll attach a sanitized and commented snippet of my config as well that you can use as a starting point. > I saw some bug reports on ExternalAuth v.08. Is that fixed yet? > Do I even need it if I'm using LDAP? I haven't been bitten by any bugs in it yet, but I'm curious to know what bugs exist. > Also, for each Plugin in my array, what corresponding files do I need and > where do I put them? Each plugin you have should have a config and install script...any configuration they use should be in RT_SiteConfig.pm, so a fresh install of those plugins into your new RT 3.8 directory should be fine as long as you copy relevant lines over from your RT 3.6 config.
