[rt-users] Custom authentication script fails with > ExternalAuthPriority not defined, please check your configuration file

[Christian Loos]

Hi,

why not just call in you PHP app
https://your-rt-server-url/REST/1.0/
with user and pass as post parameter and check the first line of the
response for the status
* "200 Ok" = successful login
* "401 Credentials required" = not successful login
