Hi Matthew It sounds to me like you were authenticating ok initially, but getting an error in creating the user.
And to answer your initial question about the group and group_attr settings, I don’t use those at all and it works fine for me. I would recommend putting things back to how you first had them (to generate the error your originally posted), turn the log level up to debug, and try again. There are some debug statements within that method that may help identify where it is choking. - Brent From: Mathew Snyder [mailto:mathew.sny...@gmail.com<mailto:mathew.sny...@gmail.com>] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2013 1:50 PM To: Jeff Solberg Cc: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com<mailto:rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com> Subject: Re: [rt-users] I need help with the RT-Authen-ExternalAuth LDAP settings, please I found another thread that indicated that the solution to the second problem was to add @domain to the end of the username. That just reverted to the previous list of errors with a couple new ones.

Whenever someone attempts an initial login with just their username (which should create their RT account) the following error is logged: Oct 17 15:02:29 zen-rt RT: [23131] Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm line 613.

We also have our Openfire Jabber server authenticating successfully.

For example, I don't know what the group_attr or group_attr_value setting should contain (if anything) in the RT_SiteConfig.pm file. Basically, anything from the "group" settings. -Mathew "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." - God; Futurama "We'll get along much better once you accept that you're wrong and neither am I." - Me
