[rt-devel] RT 4.4.0rc1 - ExternalAuth

[Parish, Brent]

Ok - part-way there.

I threw in some debug lines and if I separate my config into multiple files within RT_SiteConfig.d  it correctly sets the values on first iteration of reading those files.
Subsequent calls to the loader found the same values then UNset.  
Plowing all the separate files from RT_SiteConfig.d back into a single RT_SiteConfig.pm file (and deleting the separate ones) went back to keeping the ExternalAuth setting set.

The spurious notice about " ExternalInfoPriority not defined" seems to be coming from line 1087 in Config.pm.
I haven't looked deeper yet but first glance made me think perhaps it was used in debugging and maybe should be (re)moved now?
I'll look closer once I have ExternalAuth back up.

I had ExternalAuthId being set in my RT_SiteConfig.pm (for both $ExternalSettings attr_map and also for $LDAPMapping) and had to remove those (trips the "Unimplemented in RT::Record error")

ExternalAuth is now working for me, I just need to get the SSO piece (Apache Kerberos) back and I'll be all set!

Thanks again, BPS, for all your hard work and the great new release!

This is awesome guys, thanks!!!!!

I ran the upgrade today from 4.2.11 to 4.4.0rc1
The upgrade itself was pleasantly uneventful, save for some confusion on my part as to whether or not to remove the obsoleted plugins from RT_SiteConfig.pm before or after running upgrade.
  e.g. 
    Leave them in: get the warnings.  
    Leave them out: does it skip anything if it thinks I was not using them?

I am struggling a bit with shifting ExternalAuth (LDAP --> Active Dir) to a core function though.
I'll keep playing with it, but if anyone has a moment (yeah, right, like anyone has such a thing as Free Time!) I'd love some thoughts on it.


For example, I removed the old plugins, because I see they are installed under lib/RT now.  
    local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth
    local/plugins/RT-Extension-LDAPImport
I assume this was correct, though I don't recall seeing it in the upgrade doc?


I noticed in /opt/rt4/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm that it still refers to the Set($ExternalInfoPriority config, but the RT logs tell me different:
     ExternalInfoPriority not defined. User information (including user enabled/disabled) cannot be externally-sourced
(I see this whether I have it defined or not)


I kept all my old config settings for LDAP/ExternalAuth in RT_SiteConfig.pm
I did remove the plugins line for them, and added the   Set($ExternalAuth, 1);   
I just wasn't sure if that was the right way to do it?


In short, I'm looking for anything else that people have had to tweak for ExternalAuth (esp. LDAP) to make it work post-upgrade?

Thanks!
Brent
