[rt-users] Homepage Refresh Interval inside custom page

[Brumm, Torsten / Kuehne + Nagel / Ham MI-ID]

Dear RT Developer,
i'm looking for a way for a special custom RT Page to bypass the Homepage 
Refresh interval. I copy and pasted from other pages the following:
 
<& /Elements/Header, Title => loc("Request for Change: User Account"), Refresh 
=> $session{'home_refresh_interval'} &>
 
But now the Homepage Refresh Interval of the user (if set) takes place. How can 
i explicit diasable it for this page, also if a user has set a homepage 
refresh? Is it enough to remove the Refresh Part of the line above?
 
Torsten

[rt-users] Ticket Dependencies within Template

[Speagle, Andy]

Hi folks,

I can't seem to get this right.  I have a template that creates a series of 
child tickets that I want to be interdependent based on the value of one or 
more custom fields.  Everything is working very well, save for actually 
creating the dependencies... here's a bit of the relevant code:

{{{
===Create-Ticket: StepNetwork

.
.
.

Depended-On-By: {
  my $objDepTicket;

  $objDepTicket = $Tickets{'StepTelecomm'}->Id() if ($strPre eq 'Yes');
  $objDepTicket = $Tickets{'TOP'}->Id() if ($strPre eq 'No');

  $objDepTicket;
}

.
.
.

===Create-Ticket: StepTelecomm
}}}

I've tried this various ways... I can't quite figure out how to reference the 
other tickets being created... or the parent ticket (aka TOP) for that 
matter... I've also tried the following unsuccessfully:

{{{
Depended-On-By: {
  my $objDepTicket;

  $objDepTicket = 'StepTelecomm' if ($strPre eq 'Yes');
  $objDepTicket = 'TOP' if ($strPre eq 'No');

  $objDepTicket;
}
}}}

Can anyone clue me in, please?...

[rt-users] urgent: disable search for new watchers

[Violetta J. Wawryk]

Hi,

RT is 3.6.1 on a debian system

we just found out that in the people section everyone who can login can 
search for people. So a person who has the following rights:

CreateTicket
ReplyToTicket
SeeQueue
ShowTicket

can go to the people section and do a search like:

userid doesn't contain xyz

he gets all the users of the RT. Since this is a security issue, is 
there anything that I can do to prevent these searches?

It might be disabled in a newer version, if so which would that be?

A quick search on the list didn't give me an answer, therefore I have to 
ask this. Sorry if it's been on the list before.

Quick help is really appreciated, thanks in advance

Regards
Violetta

[rt-users] link from ticket with CFs as areguments

[Kim Jones]

Has anyone here figured out or can offer advice as to how to add to the ticket 
metadata page a link to an external form with CFs in the link arguments?

As part of resolving  a ticket we need to use another online form. We'd love to 
have a link on the ticket metadata page to that form that includes arguments 
with the values of CFs so that these values will appear in the appropriate 
places in this other form when we get to it.

So if my custom fields are:

LRCID and title 

we'd like to addd a link like this:

http://blah/form.php?LRCID=378548&title=foobar

We are using RT 3.8.2.

Thanks for your help,

Violetta,


Why is it a security issue? If your privileges are allowing them to 
go to a user "Preferences", then I understand, but to just know what 
UserIds are on the system doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

Jeremy,

Templates are on the DataBase. Upgrading from version to version 
will NOT erase them. As long as your DBA is doing regular backups (which 
I cannot fathom why they wouldn't), then your templates are safe.

It gives them in a edge into trying to crack other accounts, because
they then already have half the authentication pair. On the other hand,
they can already determine the name of a privileged user by looking at
who owns their ticket or otherwise converse with them via RT.

Re: [rt-users] urgent: disable search for new watchers

Jerrad,

   Yes, but you can keep them out of other accounts by removing so many 
global privileges and making them "Queue-level" privileges. That way, no 
one can get into a Queue unless specifically allowed to by privileges.

Re: [rt-users] Implementer comments in a template

[Jeremy Winder]

I over simplified my question. I'm not so much worried about losing the
templates in my production RT install. Without backups of it we would
also lose all of the tickets and change audit logs, which would lead to
me finding new employment. 

I'm more curious about the comments because I'm looking at writing a
script that will pull them out of the database and store them in text
files. This way they can be committed to subversion or given to others
trying to solve the same problem.

I didn't consider using {# comment} blocks. They should solve my problem
nicely.

I think you missed the "crack" part.

If I can get a list of usernames on a system, it's that much easier to run a
dictionary attack against. So joeblow sees that admin1 is a valid account,
starts guessing passwords and eventually ends up logged in as admin1.
Farfetched, and not the most probable scenario/target(RT), but possible.

I suspect you also have granted ShowConfigTab, otherwise
these users wouldn't see the Configuration menu.

There have been numerous fixes to this in the 3.8 series
and 3.6.7 was recently released to fix a different permissions issue

Email addresses themselves are considered valuable data by some
people.  In this particular case, it might also reveal customer
contacts (which could be abused for various purposes, not just sending

Re: [rt-users] urgent: disable search for new watchers

Violetta;

You also made these people privileged (Let this user be granted rights 
is ticked), the question is do you want them to be privileged, if these 
are your customers then you should untick this and force them into the 
restricted SelfService, if you have to have them privileged then by 
default they will see the peoples tab, and to restrict that you will 
need to add extra code in few places.

[rt-users] Help with Old Status value

To List,

I'm trying to get the old value of the ticket status so I can re-set it. 
So far, I have this:

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $oldvalue = $trans->Field('Status');
$oldvalue->Load($trans->OldValue );

and it's not working. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Re: [rt-users] Requestor eMail

[rmp dmd]

Thanks Kevin for the response,

I checking procmail to filter before getting to mailgate however, procmail
filters on a user level and uses user home directory for the configuration
file.

We did not create user for RT, we just forward using alias

ie:

#RT Mailgate user for "production"
prod1: "|/opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue prod1 --action correspond --url
http://srv1.domain.net/rt/";
Any email to pr...@srv1.domain.net will go directly to RT Ticketing.  The
messages are stored on the RT DB.

Any more suggestion on what filter system can be used ?

Thanks!
Roehl


===

Filter it before it gets to rt-mailgate, otherwise once you get to
Scrips,
the ticket has already been created.

I believe someone else has already pointed you at the wiki for not
autoreplying

In the nicest possible way you got this wrong by a mile, what are you 
trying to do, ist a scrip action ? do you want to reset the Status as 
soon as its changed to something else? or at a later transaction ie new 
update or modify etc?

Re: [rt-users] Help with Old Status value

Raed,

HA! I'm not surprised, being a perl newbie. First, I've set the 
condition to check if the user is "resolving" the ticket (working). 
Then, I'm examining a CF to see if it has a value, which is working. If 
the CF has no value then I want to re-set the Ticket Status back to what 
it was. The simple thing would be to make the CF "Mandatory". However, I 
can't do that as my users rarely know what to put into the CF until they 
are about to resolve it. So, I need to check the CF at that point and if 
no value, not let them "resolve" the ticket. Any ideas?

There is nothing stopping you from invoking procmail from aliases and
having procmail invoke the mailgate.  There are several examples if
you search on the wiki for procmail.

You don't say what your mail server is, but I know with postfix you  
could
just have it discard mail from certain addresses before it gets to rt- 
mailgate

This is really more of a question for your mail server than RT

I'm trying to get the old value of the ticket status so I can re-set

my $trans = $self->TransactionObj;
my $oldvalue = $trans->Field('Status');
$oldvalue->Load($trans->OldValue );

and it's not working. Can anyone help? Thanks.

You can do this for a single CF using the "Link values to" field on  
the Custom Field Basics page
If you need to include multiple CF or ticket fields in the external  
link, you'll need
to write some code
