We would love to have a combination of external authentication in
addition to the internal auth mechanisim. That way we could let our
existing users use their ordinary UNIX (or more precisly Kerberos IV/V)
usernames/passwords (of course using SSL).

One other thing I relly would like to see in rt 2.0 is a way to use a
"self" user and password for every ticket. I.e when you are opening a
ticket in rt you get, in addition to the ticket number, a uniqe password.
With the ticket number and password you can authenticate yourself to the
ticket and view and add more info to the ticket.
