Autocreate external users

I need to allow for the automatic creation of unprivileged users when we
get emails from outside. Right now I create privileged users when they
log in via LDAP:

Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers, 1);
Set($AutoCreate, {Privileged => 1});

Now I need to create unprivileged users on emails from outside, mostly as
reply to tickets…

Seems like it used to work under 3.8 and I broke something moving to 4.0…

Any suggestions?

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If
I quit, however, it lasts forever.

AutoCreate is RT’s option and works in RT even without EA plugin.

May be to achieve what you want you can map Privileged in attr_map
option to LDAP attribute that always has 1 as value. As well, set
AutoCreate to default. Never tried this.
