[rt-users] shredder on specific user
After doing a few searches, it seems that using the rt-shredder tool is the one true way to delete a user. Unfortunately... i find the documentation on it, inscruitable :( Could someone please give me a simple, straightforward commandline to delete user X? I was hoping it would be as simple as rt-shredder --plugin User name=doomeduser but that does not seem to be adequate. -- RT Training in Seattle, June 19-20: http://bestpractical.com/training
[rt-users] auto-populate email from short username?
Well, lets try a simpler, hopefully easier to tackle subject line :) lets say I have autocreate turned on. And accounts get created just fine when someone authenticates via web. ... however, the autocreated account name will be just the username. no @my.com What's the best way to get the email field set, with @my.com added, when the account is autocreated? -- RT Training in Seattle, June 19-20: http://bestpractical.com/training

Re: [rt-users] REMOTE_USER, external auth, and email mismatching
Err.. thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. For one thing, even if I got permission to do that (which I wont), we have 40,000 users in ldap. I dont actually WANT all of them in the rt database. particularly since we have a 15,000 user/year churn rate.

[rt-users] REMOTE_USER, external auth, and email mismatching
hi there, We are looking at using kerb auth and mod_auth_kerb as our external auth mechanism for RT. Trouble is.. our kerb domain is not the same as people's email address domain. We have mumble-thousand users. Hand-populating things is not an option. So, I was hoping there was potentially a way to do any of the following: a) automatically drop the @xyz from REMOTE_USER entirely b) autoconvert the @xyz to @real.domain c) (least preferable) have the autocreate routines, atomatically fill in @real.domain as the email address

I followed the link, but it didnt explicitly give an answer to the following question. For posterity and the list archive's sake: does it also work for extern auth? In other words, when it auto-creates an account, will it rewrite the *account name*? Or will it just get triggered on actual email that comes in?
