Hi guys,
I’ve been following the discussions about ExternalAuth with great interest
as I"ve been slowly working to move my 3.6.0 install to the most current
version. I’m trying to setup ExternalAuth to LDAP currently. When its
enabled I get this message in the browser when I try to login:
Can’t use string (“My_LDAP”) as an ARRAY ref while “strict refs” in use at
/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/User_Vendor.pm line
728, line 273.
I cannot login as root (local) or LDAP. I installed ExternaAUth v006 which
I understand has a bug in it but i’m not sure if this is the same error or
something different. Can somone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Aaron
A followup:
I looked at the User_Vendor.pm file in the error and commented out the “use
strict;” line at the beginning of the file. now I can login as root but not
LDAP. I’m not a programmer so I don’t understand the sigificance of that
statement. Will my “fix” cause any other errors/problems? Is there a
better option?

If you have “use strict;”, it just means that you have to explicitly
define your variables before you use them. That means that you either
have to have a section where you define the variables that you’re going
to use such as:
my $foo;
my $bar;
my $baz;
or you have to define it the first time it’s used (and only the first
time), such as
#do some things
my $foo=“bar”;
$foo=“baz”;
It’s designed to make sure that you don’t have typos inside your
variable names and is mostly just a matter of style more than anything
else. That doesn’t address your LDAP issue, but should help to show why
the fatal error was occurring.

In your config do you have this
Set($ExternalInfoPriority, [ ‘My_LDAP’ ]);
or this
Set($ExternalInfoPriority, ‘My_LDAP’ );
You want the former

As Kevin said, this is probably a small issue with your config. It
wouldn’t hurt to provide your config if it doesn’t resolve your problem.
Also, enabling debug-level log-to-file is very useful.
I cannot login as root (local) or LDAP. I installed ExternaAUth v006

With v0.06 you should be able to login as any user that already exists
in RT, using external authentication checking, but you’ll hit a wall
when it comes to autocreating new users. I’m currently working flat out
(as much as I can around everything else) to produce a new completely
refactored version of the plugin that will work properly.

Kevin,
that was it! Thanks. Now I’m getting the “SetDisabled” on line 1087 error.
which I believe is the previously mentioned add user bug. I will patiently
await a fix for that.
