[rt-users] Re: Ending multiple RT accounts per user created by email tickets

It's been awhile, so your problem might have been solved, but I didn't
see any replies on rt-users.

If your canonicalization is this regular, than yes, you should be able
to set those variables in the site config. You'll have to restart RT
to see the changes, and it will not merge the old user accounts. If
you have a more complex canonicalization, you can overlay the actual
function that does this.

use the variables you already found.

overlay the subroutine to include an ldap lookup.

I'm not sure why it failed for you, did you restart apache? Were you
hoping it would also merge users?
