[rt-users] Web interface to automatically create users?

[Paul Guyot]

Hello all,

Thanks to Peter, I now have two instances of RT2. I've started using 
on of these to handle bugs and feature requests for my software (the 
other one is a more traditional IT tickets database). I've created a 
guest user who can search the database and look into tickets (maybe I 
did it wrong, but apparently one has to go through the Login window 
anyway).

I've decided that to add bugs, one has to create an account, so only 
registered users can file bugs. As I understand it, this has 
advantages for users (they can see the list of their bugs, watch 
bugs, etc.) and for me (I can contact the user if I need more 
details).

I mention all this because according to the mailing list archives, I 
might not use RT exactly as I should for my needs.

Anyway, I've created one real account manually, but I would prefer 
that it was done via a web interface.

Does such a web interface already exists?

If not, I will probably write it (just don't want to reinvent the 
wheel). I plan to use rtadmin script in bin. And then, check with 
rtadmin --user <some login> that the user doesn't exist, create it 
and send a confirmation by e-mail to the e-mail address they will 
provide (so I can detect wrong e-mail addresses with the bounce).
Is it the good way to proceed?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Paul
