[rt-users] RES: Re: RES: Re: RES: Re: RT External Auth and uid problem

Mon Oct 3 14:38:53 EDT 2011

Hello,

I worked in a solution, modifying the file ExternalAuth.pm in
/opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ and seems
to work fine.
In this case, only work with local auth and LDAP with UID. It prefix the
uid number with letter a, and remove it where is necessary.

Here's the mofifications if someone need it in future:

If you want, I can post in the wikia page too.

Tks

Luciano
