As Kevin said, this is probably a small issue with your config. It 
wouldn't hurt to provide your config if it doesn't resolve your problem.

Also, enabling debug-level log-to-file is very useful.

With v0.06 you should be able to login as any user that already exists 
in RT, using external authentication checking, but you'll hit a wall 
when it comes to autocreating new users. I'm currently working flat out 
(as much as I can around everything else) to produce a new completely 
refactored version of the plugin that will work properly.
