[rt-users] integration with LDAP / Active Directory

[Rick Rezinas]

I haven't done this with LDAP but I have with Samba.  What you're going
to want to do is tell RT to let apache handle authentication, and
configure apache to do what you want.  In RT2 you add a line

$WebExternalAuth = 1;

and you're golden.  Can't speak for 3 yet.

When Gladstone was British Prime Minister he visited Michael Faraday's
laboratory and asked if some esoteric substance called `Electricity'
would ever have practical significance.
"One day, sir, you will tax it," was the answer.
