It just makes RT defer authentication to any external source, like
Apache. In our case, we are using Stanford's WebAuth and a few extra
config lines to make RT use our non-standard user variable name since
WebAuth can't change apache's REMOTE_USER:
# Make RT use the WebAuth HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER variable instead of Apache's
REMOTE_USER:
use RT::Interface::Web;
{ no warnings 'redefine';
sub RT::Interface::Web::WebCanonicalizeInfo {
return $ENV{'HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER'} ? lc $ENV{'HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER'} :
$ENV{'HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER'};
}
}
