  Search the list archives for work done to make RT talk to LDAP 
servers. I can't recall who did it, but there is a set of modules you 
can drop in to override the RT ones that will handle the auto-creation 
of a user on their first ticket submission using information retrieved 
from an LDAP server instead of the standard non-privileged account. 
Also, it will verify their login password against the LDAP server 
instead of storing it in the RT database.

  Sorry I don't recall who/where, but google should find it for you.
