[rt-users] Combining Apache Auth with RT:Authen:External overlays

[David Nillesen]

Hi,

                I've been trying to get this to work for a bit, but am not having any luck.


o   What I would like is to use Apache authentication via LDAP, so that all the apps on our server running RT are using the same auth system.

o   Then I would like to use an LDAP overlay so that users are driven with current information from our LDAP system.

So far, I've had RT-Authen-ExternalAuth working, but not in combination with Apache Auth. RT External Auth works fine, but forces people to log in multiple times to the system,
once for Apache and once for RT. The way users are handled inside RT-Authen-ExternalAuth is excellent and ideal for my case.

Is there any way to tie this to Apache Basic Auth?

I would use an LDAP overlay, but all the docs seem to have been pulled from the wiki and now point back to the RT-Authen-ExternalAuth module.

I'm running the latest 3.8 RT with 0.08 RT-Authen-ExternalAuth.

My other option appears to be to use an SSO cookie auth system and protect my server that way and get RT-Authen-ExternalAuth to use the cookie. I was really trying to avoid this however as it is massive overkill, well IMO.

Thanks for your time,
Dave
