[rt-users] RT and LDAP authentication (Win2k AD)

[Helmuth Ramirez]

I have a cron job running every morning at 4am to sync up with AD
because of the whole 'new hire' issue

We thought of this but I didn't want to keep up with new hires. Now, If
they've got an account in AD (anyone who would be using RT does) it's
all transparent.

You could always import all your AD users, assuming that's where most
(if not all) your tickets will be coming from.  Then you don't have to
worry about them sending an e-mail the first time.

If you would like local RT accounts to be automatically created upon
first web login you'll need to use Jim's
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?LdapAutocreateAuthCallback in
conjunction with the LDAP overlay.

AFAIK, and IIRC, Jim Meyer's code requires an initial email from the
user to autocreate accounts from AD info.  You can't autocreate from web
login using his code. 

Make sure your users have email addies configured in their AD records.
