[rt-users] Autocreate unprivileged users

[Izz Abdullah]

Yes, I simply overlooked this the other day as well.  Just posted maybe two days back and then realized my overlook immediately:
Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers,    1);

As Kevin rightfully stated, this is part of the RT-Authen-ExternalAuth plugin.  I'm using LDAP, but have some requestors that aren't in our AD, so this fixed it for me.

Hope this helps!

You might need to flip the config about AutoCreation which is part of RT-Authen-ExternalAuth
