Italo, I had to do this awhile back and I had to develop a work-around procedure. What I did was wait until after hours (everyone went home) and then changed the RT_SiteConfig.pm file to turn off LDAP and allow adding users manually. I then bounced my RT session and added the users. Then I went back and changed the configurations back and bounced it again and it was ready for normal LDAP authentication for production hours.
Hope this helps. Kenn LBNL On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 8:38 AM, Italo Valcy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm using ExternalAuth to authenticate user against a LDAP server.
