Hi Kevin,
Much appreciated. Using alternate email addresses instead of alternate
uids sounds even better. Is this url:

what I need? If not, can you please point me to a page where
step-by-step instruction is.
Again, many thanks...

Hi all,
We have RT4.0 with RT::Authen::ExternalAuth. In attr_match_list
section we have:
'attr_match_list' => [ 'Name',
'EmailAddress',
'RealName',
],
You really don't want RealName there, otherwise
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth will disallow two people named Bob Smith.
'attr_map' => { 'Name' => 'uid',
'EmailAddress' => 'mail',
'RealName' => 'cn',
}
However, on our ldap (openldap) a typical user has a uid and cn. For
instance, my info on the ldap is:
dn: uid=hossein,ou=People,o=TRIUMF
uid: hossein
cn: Hossein Rafighi
sn: Rafighi
mail: [email protected]
mail: [email protected]
givenName: Hossein
Is it possible to alter the attr_match, attr_map, or any other
attribute in RT to authenticate based on uid or cn, and not just
uid? I tried changing various settings, but to no avail.
You'd have to extend the module to use more than just the Name in the
query it runs for DN. There's a branch in the repo for refactoring
some of that code, but it concentrates on alternate email addresses
not alternate uids. It may make doing what you want easier though.
