This is nothing more than an uneducated guess, so take it as a grain of salt, Could it possibly have something to do with writing/maintaining the cookie/session?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

I'm not convinced that the filter value is the config is to blame for<BR>
this. It hasn't been changed since the initial installation and<BR>
everything has been working up until a little while ago.<BR>
<BR>
I found out what was causing the problem although I still don't know<BR>
*why* it is a problem.<BR>
<BR>
Someone changed the URL to RT in our wiki to be <a href="http://rt?user=john_doe">http://rt?user=john_doe</a><BR>
so that the username would be set automatically as per the wiki<BR>
username. Seemed like a smart idea since both authenticate against the<BR>
same LDAP server. Whenever this URL is used to get to RT the error appears.<BR>
<BR>
If I remove ?user=john_doe and log in manually everything works just fine.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone know why this would be? We're using RT 3.8.5 and<BR>
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth 0.08<BR>
<BR>
My problem is solved for the time being but it would be nice to know why<BR>
?user=john_doe causes problems.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
