Cannot Create user with LDAP Overlay

Alle,

Even thought the privileges for Everyone and Unprivileged are set to

CreateTicket and ReplyToTicket, we get these errors when send from an
external user:

User creation failed in mailgateway: Name in use

User ‘camron.fox@example.com’ could not be loaded in the mail gateway

RT could not load a valid user, and RT’s configuration does not allow
for the creation of a new user for your email.

How do we allow this when using the LDAP overlay? I've googled for this

but found only answers for 3.X and we’re running 4.0.10.

Best Regards,
Camron

What “LDAP overlay” are you using on 4.0.10? Usually that phrase refers
to an ancient 3.6-era overlay that was pretty hacky.

On a modern RT, you should be using REMOTE_USER auth ($WebExternalAuth)
or RT::Authen::ExternalAuth (+ RT::Extension::LDAPImport).

If you’re using RT::Authen::ExternalAuth, look into the
$AutoCreateNonExternalUsers option it provides.
