RT Users,
My second problem (potentially related to my last) is on our external customer support RT instance. When internal employees first send in requests, their names are harvested, but NOT their emails, meaning that they could not get email updates when replies were to be sent. If we manually set their email addresses everything works from there. We have RT configured to pull our internal employees from LDAP, and we are (hopefully) set up to accept new users from the outside. However in practice the system is accepting email ids for external users, but not harvesting their names, resulting in strings like "This is correspondence from ." note the empty/null string after "from" and before the period.

Is there something wrong we've done with regard to RT user creation? This is our External* config:

ExternalAuthPriority:     []

ExternalInfoPriority:     [
          'Lingua_LDAP'
        ]

ExternalServiceUsesSSLorTLS:     0

ExternalSettings:     {
          'Lingua_LDAP' => {
                             'base' => 'ou=users,dc=linguamatics,dc=com',
                             'net_ldap_args' => [
                                                  'version',
                                                  3
                                                ],
'filter' => '(|(objectClass=posixAccount)(objectClass=account))',
                             'server' => 'ldap1.linguamatics.com',
                             'type' => 'ldap',
                             'attr_match_list' => [
                                                    'EmailAddress'
                                                  ],
                             'tls' => 0,
                             'attr_map' => {
                                             'RealName' => 'cn',
                                             'EmailAddress' => 'mail',
                                             'Name' => 'uid',
                                             'Gecos' => 'gecos',
                                             'ExternalAuthId' => 'uid'
                                           }
                           }
        }
