Not quite, although we do use auth_ldap here for keeping some other stuff
under wraps.

As for LDAP-izing RT, you can find some good examples to mimic in the
contrib area of Jesse's site:

Also, here is a message I sent to the list in May detailing how I LDAP-ized
our copy of RT:

Both of these will end up advising that you install the Net::LDAP module
family.
