[rt-users] integration with LDAP / Active Directory

[Christian Gilmore]

Since I use external authentication (ie, apache authenticates instead of 
RT), I've never been concerned with closer integration. I purposely want 
to separate authentication systems from the applications. To use external 
authentication, you'll need to configure RT_SiteConfig.pm to have 
Set($WebExternalAuth, 1) and apache to authenticate against an LDAP. There 
are multiple options here. I personally use Apache::AuthenLDAP and 
Apache::AuthzLDAP with Apache::AuthenCache and Apache::AuthzCache wrapped 
around for efficiency.

Thanks,
Christian

thanks for the info, will read the code and play around with it.

Based on this, it seems that the web login and the mail authentication 
are two very different entities.  Is there a way to join them?  It's the 
  same pool of users so why have to authentication styles? (for me 
anyways, obviously other installs may be different)
