Hi Keven,

Thanks for the quick response. That patch does indeed fix the error and now I can see the self service interface after authenticating.

Re, our config. I have attached the complete config in case you would like to provide any words of wisdom.

We are using a custom apache single sign on module that puts the users id into remote_user then we auto create the user after lookup their name, email address etc from an ldap source which I guess is the old handler. I am taking a look at RT::Authen::ExternalAuth to see if it would be a better solution for us.

Many thanks,
Philip Shore.

I am trying to upgrade our 3.6.5 RT instance to 3.8.6 and I am getting an error at the point of first log on.

There is new code in RT 3.8.6 that wasn't present in 3.8.5 that is throwing an error for me:

I'd be interested to know if the untested attached patch fixes the
issue you're seeing.

Your siteconfig is also really odd, it isn't clear to me if you're
using all in-house config, or some mix of apache auth and
RT-Authen-ExternalAuth or the much older ldap handler.

I have RT configured to use WebExternalAuto, and so have an Apache module providing the userid via REMOTE_USER and user info collected via ldap. I logon with username "pms52" which appears in the error. I can also see in the rt log that it has successfully retrieved my information from our ldap server.

I am not a perl programmer but it looks to me like the RT code at line 367 is expecting a database object but has a String instead. The AttemptExternalAuth subrouting is new in RT 3.8.6. Is there something I have not configured correctly or is there a bug ? I have pasted what I think are the relevant parts of our RT_SiteConfig below.

Many thanks,
Philip Shore.
