[rt-devel] Users authentification from LDAP

[Jesse]

Hi, Atif,

        You should take a look at RT2.  We've got the basic code in place to
allow RT to use an external system to get user info (though we've not yet
implemented any external authentication / user info providers.)

If you folks wanted to start looking at the right ways to do that, we'd
be overjoyed.  Folks have talked about auth based on SSL certs, kerberos 4,
kerberos 5, and LDAP though I don't believe anyone's actually tried an
implementation yet.

I have images of Marc in well worn combat fatigues, covered in mud, 
sweat and blood, knife in one hand and PSION int he other, being 
restrained by several other people, screaming "Let me at it! 
Just let me at it!"  Eichin standing calmly by with something 
automated, milspec, and likely recoilless.
