[rt-users] Authentication Question

[Mark Farrington]

Ok,

I've got somewhere with this following falcone's advice.

If it's any use to anyone else, I added the following to ExternalAuth.pm (mostly borrowed from the LDAPImport Extension) - it's creating a group based on the name of the Auth service in RTSiteConfig and adding the user to it.

It needs some debug added (as there currently is none) - but if it can be of use to anyone feel free to borrow it.

# Creates Groups based on $service

    my $rt_group = RT::Group->new($RT::SystemUser);

    $rt_group->LoadUserDefinedGroup( $service );
    unless ($rt_group->Id) {
        my ($gp_id,$gp_msg) = $rt_group->CreateUserDefinedGroup( Name => $service );
        unless ($gp_id) {
            #$self->_error("Can't create group $group_name [$msg]")
        }
    }

    #group already exists (or does now) - so we can add user to it

#Adds Users to groups

	#my $principal = $UserObj->PrincipalObj;
	 if ($rt_group->HasMember($session->{'CurrentUser'})) {
        #$self->_debug($user->Name . " already a member of " . $group->Name);
        return;
    	 }

	$rt_group->AddMember($session->{'CurrentUser'}->Id);
