If you already have multiple accounts for people, you can merge them
with http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/RT-Extension-MergeUsers-0.02/

 Hi Boris,

 I have just configured this exact scenario.  Take a look at this page

 http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo

 Basically, you can use LDAP in Exchange 5.5 to cross reference
 between user
 id and email address.  When users send an e-mail to RT, LDAP is used to
 retrieve the userid from Exchange and therefore prevent the creation
 of 2
 accounts. 
 Hope this helps!

 Thanks Dan, I'll give it a try.

[rt-users] Merge or delete users

2007-10-25 Thread Boris Jordanov

Hi people,
I try to integrate RT with MS AD and the LDAP tips from the wiki to get 
the user data on user creation, and it is almost working. The customer 
is using Windows 2003 for DC and Exchange 5.5. Exchange 5.5 is pretty 
old and is not well integrated with AD. So, when the user opens 
http://helpdesk in the browser, the credential sent to RT from Apache is 
the user's logon name, let it be userx. The user creates a ticket with 
requestor userx. Then the user sends an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], 
and because Exchange 5.5 is stupid, and no one has entered the user's 
emails into their AD account details, RT creates a new user 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] And there is the problem - one user, two RT 
accounts. Can two users be merged somehow, or can I delete entirely an 
user, to be able to assign it's email to another user?

Thanks in advance.
