Authentication against AD works but

Hi all,

Got the book, found the use of $WebExternalAuth and in no time we were
able to authenticate RT users against Active directory! Hooray.

Only to discover that it broke the mail gateway. Is there a way to have
rt-mailgate to send a “user” and a “password”, or is there another way to
deal with this?

Tried to run the stand alone server, but it did not like the rt-mailgate
requests…

Best regards,

Francois

BTW, really liked the book!

You have probably configured apache to require authentication for the
entire rt installation, and the /NoAuth directory needs to be an
exception. Something like:

<LocationMatch "/NoAuth">
    Satisfy Any
    Allow from all

should do it. Adjust if the location is really /rt/NoAuth in your
installation.

You may also need to LocationMatch / Directory against /REST. I know I
did.

Thanks Les and Phil,

It is working, I didn’t have to do anything about “/REST” tough…

Thanks for the tips,
