  Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply. Please see the followings:

Yes. That's correct. Sorry for not being clear.

In my RT_SiteConfig.pm I have: Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers,    0); 
Is this the one you're referring to? If I set this to 1 to enable, do I 
need to do anything, run any command to apply it? What is the 
ramification of allowing this? Does that mean user(s) not known to our 
LDAP will be created as local user? If yes, can this person login to our 
RT? I hope not!!!!

Thanks for your reply,
Hossein
