[rt-users] Users Autocomplete not working 4.0.7?

[Shawn Plummer]

Thanks for breaking those up! I am digging into the SQL tonight too. The distinct query appears to return no results in my testing so far.

As for the username change, that user was easier to isolate since it had less activity than I did when our DBA ran the query. The user definitely exists, has an email, and is enabled. We do use external auth and LDAP Import. Both are still working since the upgrade.

select id, Name, EmailAddress from Users where Name LIKE 'taf2%' or EmailAddress LIKE 'taf2%';
returns the user.

If this returns no rows there are serious problems - either there is definitely no user matching that condition or there are serious Db issues. The next three queries are trivial really. limitQuery selects the id of the matched users and orders by username. thirdQuery (I'm pretty creative when it comes to naming) limits the results to 10.

If you do, heck the other queries in order to find the point of failure. Otherwise, all I can really suggest is to take a serious look at the Users table and confirm there is a user there who matches the conditions. Make absolute sure the user is not disabled, make absolute sure that taf2 appears somewhere in the Real Name field, NOT the nickname field (or add nickname to $UserAutocompleteFields in RT_SiteConfig.pm). If your user's are synced from LDAP/AD, then they may have these details in that system but the configuration has not yet been setup to sync these into LDAP.

If taf2 is not yourself you may be running into a confusion I experienced when I installed RT - that is, I set up the External Auth plugin but not the LDAP Import plugin. Your users may not yet be in the RT database if they have not yet logged in if this is the case.

It can be tough to guess someone's level of expertise over the internet, so while it's likely you know a whole lot more than me, I didn't want to leave anything out that might help you.
