ExternalAuth + Anonymous emails to queue

Hi all,

I’m using RT with ExternalAuth (v 0.8); everything works perfectly fine

with respect to ldap/AD authentication and access.

However, I’m trying to allow a single queue to receive requests from any

email address (ie. @gmail , etc) without knowing who the end user is
and

without creating accounts for these folks…

On the Queue, I have Everyone with the following rights:

CommentOnTicket

CreateTicket

ModifyTicket

ReplyToTicket

SeeQueue

ShowTicket

Is it possible to do this without a major hack/reconfig ?

Thanks

I don’t think you can avoid creating an account for each requestor
email address. It’s fundamental to the way RT knows where to send
notifications to. The user doesn’t have to exist in your LDAP/AD
database; it’s only created locally within RT itself.

Would there be a way to add LDAP users to a group for privilege
escalation while leaving the others as unprivileged accounts?On Mar 31, 2009, at 11:20 PM, Tim Cutts wrote:
