As mentioned earlier by my colleague, you can use 
http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs/latest/RT/User.html#CanonicalizeUserInfo-HASH-of-ARGS
to massage the user data during creation.  It used to be quite common
to glue together a few snippets of CanonicalizeUserInfo along with
WebCanonicalizeInfo in order to set up user information after creation
during login.  These days I almost never use those hooks because
people just pull from AD.
