This approach uses a code overlay to retain the web based RT login and 
fallback to internal authentiction if that fails.

An alternative approach is to use mod_auth_ldap, but that will require 
WebExternalAuth = 1 and will use the built in browser auth popup, 
fallback to external accounts may be possible but it would not be easy.

The approach listed here also uses a code overlay.
