[rt-users] [rt-users]keyword search by body

[Chris Beaumont]

 Hi,

The bug in this script is that you have to be logged into RT in order to go
and view the results in RT.  Is there a way I can use the code in auth.pm
to send a cookie to trick RT into thinking that the request for an RT
ticket (using webrt.cgi?serial_num=xx ) is coming from a logged in user?  I
was thinking that I could setup a guest user and instead of letting the
code expect an RT_PASSWORD and RT_USERNAME i could hard code them in as
un:guest pw:guest.  Im not asking for a coded answer to the problem, merely
quizing as to whether this is feasable before I get into pulling auth.pm
apart.

Regards,

 i thought i posted this on friday but it looks like it never got out there
for some reason!?!

anyway :

>Right the LAN's back up now so i cant go home =o( but on the plus side i
got the script....

>I may have misled people a bit in that this isnt a search script which
integrates into RT, rather grabs the listings stored in >the
/install-path/rt/transactions/ dirs and performs a rudimentary keyword
search. It then provides a link to the RT Ticket >viewer *BUT* you must be
logged in to see it, otherwise you will be taken to the RT login screen. I
wrote it in an afternoon >and its one of my first efforts at Perl so
forgive me if its a little simplistic. If anyone comes up with
improvements, please >mail them back onto the list so i can integrate them.
Enjoy =o)

>btw - my rt install sits in /usr/local/rt/ and therefore i installed this
script in /usr/local/rt/bin/cgi/
