Okay, I didn't understand that from earlier, then. I'm setting up a test
instance so I can validate it works in vanilla RT 3.4.4 and MySQL; once
I've got that, I'll insert a bit more debug and we'll go from there.

This contrib is intended to:

* authenticate existing accounts against LDAP
* bootstrap auto-created accounts with user info from LDAP

You'd still have to give CreateTicket to the Everyone group (which you
could grant per queue or globally) if you want to allow people who don't
already have an RT account to generate a new ticket; when they do, RT
will auto-create their account using info from LDAP.

Hopefully that's what you're looking for. =]

Meanwhile, I'll let you know when I've either validated this on a
vanilla RT 3.4.4 setup or found the problem. =]

Thanks!
