[rt-users] Autocreated users and ldap auth

rt complains that the email address is already in use (AD lookup finds
the email they submitted from) and says it's in use.  I think I've
misunderstood: I thought RT would treat identical info as one account,
and LDAP lookup would take precedence.  How can I merge them so ldap
lookup is always used, whether they submitted a ticket or not..?

I just ran into this myself when setting up our LDAP authentication.
Our problem was that the LDAP server did not actually have the email
address stored, so the username created in RT was the email address.  I
had to go in and manually change the usernames of all the accounts with
email addresses in the username field.

 

What's the value of 'attr_match_list' and 'attr_map' in your
RT_SiteConfig.pm file?
