[rt-users] Recommended method for autocreating users with Active Directory and Authen-ExternalAuth

 I'm going to think about it, but the problem I see it that email
addresses might not be unique (I mean we can have two AD accounts with
the same email address).

 I have already done a script to mass-rename email addresses to AD
logins, because we use AD authentication for a long time and we wanted
to make the users use their AD login instead of their email address.
This script is not linked to the plugin, but I think it might be
useful for some admins. I can upload it on the wiki or maybe it can be
part of an "extras" directory in the plugin package. I have to cleanup
my code and make it generic, but it does the job, I already applied it
successfully on many RT instances.

Don't you think
http://www.zanfur.com/rt3-contrib/AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo/CurrentUser_Local.pm
but using RT-Authen-ExternalAuth variables could do the on-the-fly job
? Maybe with some stuff to check duplicates etc...

If you think it doesn't, can you or Mike point me into the good
direction to (try to) develop it ?

Thanks !
