[rt-users] Apache REMOTE_USER auth + AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo

[Jonah Hirsch]

I'm using a single signon service to authenticate through RT with Apache
setting the REMOTE_USER var, using webexternalauth.

I'm also trying to create a user with ldap information
using AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo.
I'm having two issues with it:
1) It doesn't seem to require authentication against the LDAP server, which
seems strange to me. Our LDAP server DOES require some kind of
authentication to be able to be accessed. Why
doesn't AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo ask for authentication info?
2) Albeit #1, when the script tires to run, I get these messages:

jwh83 is the uid I'm looking for, and I can search for it just fine using
ldapsearch in Ubuntu *with authentication. *If I had to guess, I'd guess
that because I'm not passing any credentials with
AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo.

Any suggestions?
