[rt-users] NT authentication, account creation

[Reggie Nalder]

We are trying to have RT authenticate to an NT domain
using mod_auth_pam, and would like to have RT accounts
created automatically when a valid NT domain user logs
in through Apache. We do not have the mailgate
configured for incoming email, and will be relying on
the web interface for login.

I am able to authenticate via Apache when a local
Linux account is present, but I have been attempting
to allow NT domain users to login and have an account
created automatically. Winbind is running, and getent
passwd returns all users, but I could use some help
figuring out how to proceed.

>From RT_SiteConfig.pm:


Set($WebExternalAuth , 1);

Set($WebFallbackToInternalAuth , undef);

Set($WebExternalGecos , 1);

Set($WebExternalAuto , 1);
 
Does RT rely on SAMBA or winbindd to create the
account or does RT create the account itself. 

When the users are autocreated, how does RT append the
username to the proper suffix to create an email
address ? Is there a setting in config.pm for this ?


If anyone has done this, and can offer any advice, I
would appreciate it.


Reg.
