Basically, yes. There is $WebExternalAuth in config.pm; using auth_ldap 
works swell here. Only gripe: Users created on email ticket submission have 
username==email_adress, and I would like to have them only their uid (which, 
fortunately, is their email address without @...).

If any questions arise, fell free to contact me.
