[rt-users] Apache Auth exceptions

Hi,

We've got a pubcookie (www.pubcookie.org) system running here, which
allows us to do authentication against campus wide windows Active
Directory accounts. Using the simple "Defer to apache auth" option, this
works brilliantly with RT with hardly any effort for "normal" users.

However, I like having a separate "superuser" account to do my setup on
RT, but if I can't add my own accounts to this central service (we're a
project as part of a large university).

If I use credentials which aren't accepted by pubcookie, apache auth
fails and I get a 401 Unauthorized, and don't get as far as RTs own
login. Is there any way I can set things up to get around this?

Cheers

Carl
