[rt-users] patch for configurable crypt method?

2014-12-19 Thread Jo Rhett
While I am very glad to see RT upgrade to blowfish/bcrypt password encryption 
with RT4 it has created a problem for sites which synchronize passwords. Some 
systems (even modern Red Hat/CentOS) have no bcrypt support in glibc.

I haven’t looked in depth, but it appears from the patches that bcrypt is 
hardcoded. Would BP accept a patch which enables a configuration parameter to 
select the crypt method?

Hi Markus,

We run an update for the user's information in RT nightly based on their
uid in the directory. In our case we let our community select their preferred
Email address to be used by official communication. The only gotcha was to
ensure that CanonicalizeEmailAddress would accept both the old account address
and the new address during the transition period. In your case, it should be
one-to-one, but if you do not account for it you can get a failed to create
user error due to the conflict.

Regards,
Ken


[rt-users] Migrating maildomain

2014-12-19 Thread Markus . Wildbolz
Hi guys!

We are currently in a corporate-wide migration process of our mail 
domains.
Old domain: @xy.company.com
New domain: @company.com

We are using ExternalAuth to connect to our LDAP. At the moment, the mail 
addresses in LDAP correspond to the old maildomain.
If a user logs on at RT (or sends a mail), is the email address updated 
automatically or do we get new users with the new mail adresses?
How could I tell RT, that two mail addresses correspond to the same user?
Is there anything i could configure??


Would be great, if someone has some hints for me where to start...


Greetings,
Markus
