[rt-users] WebExternalAuth in config.pm

[Christian Gilmore]

Richard,

Do you have your apache configured for external authentication as well? It
needs to have "require valid-user" or similar set as well as the auth
directives that come with it (AuthUserFile, etc.). Is the userid in the
AuthUserFile identical to the userid within RT? Last, the password in RT
and the password in your external system are mutually exclusive. One has
nothing to do with the other.

Regards,
Christian
