[rt-users] Permission/Group Strangeness after switching to External Authentication

[Harald Wagener]

Hello all,
after switching to external authentication for users sending mail and 
WebExternalAuth for the web interface, I am faced with the following problems:

a) ticket creation via email fails. Users get no feedback, no ticket is created.

b) ticket display is limited to requestor, subject, dates and transaction 
types. transaction contents (i.e. the text of a reply or comment) remain unseen.

c) I cannot find users using the Users page anymore. The users are still in 
the mysql database, though

d) group management is limited to deleting members. I can still add users to 
groups using the CLI, though.

e) user rights management is limited. I cannot select users here as well, so 
granting users rights is not possible (except using the CLI, haven't tested).


My guess is that I screwed up internal user representation, since I activated 
WebExternalauth, deactivated it because it didn't work at once, and 
reactivated it after fixing my apache setup.


The system is RH 7.1, apache 1.3.22, mod_perl 1.2.26, mod_auth_ldap 2.4, perl 
5.6.1, rt 2-0-12

The relevant rights are granted as follows:

[root at rt bin]# ./rtadmin --queue EDV --list-rights
Queue edv: User root has right AdminKeywordSelects
Queue edv: User root has right AdminQueue
Queue edv: User root has right CommentOnTicket
