[rt-users] rt and LDAP?

[Jens von Bülow]

Jesse/Harald,

Where and how (briefly) would one use RT2 and, for example, external
authentication from Apache?

What I have in mind is the following

	Redhat Linux 7.X
	PAM - With LDAP support (pointing to our 2000 Active Directory)
	Apache - With PAM authentication (or just mod_ldap for
authentication)
	RT2 - with support for external authentication 
		(using the BASIC authentication available within HTTP and
Apache)

Is this possible? How?

Regards
Jens

Which would be fine enough for our purposes - not everybody should have
access to the request tracker, but those that do shouldn't be bothered by
an additional password handling mechanism.

Thanks and regards,
