[rt-users] rtimportldap.pl

[Steve Cochran]

In trying to get the group sync part of this script working, ran into  
something I'm not sure about.

What's the internal difference between a User and a Principal? in  
Group_Overlay, HasMember wants a Principal object, not a User object.  
The examples at the top of that file show Loading a principal, but  
only from an ID, not a username. Looking in the Principal database,  
the principal id matches the user id, but will that always be the case?

What's the point of the principal object then?
