I would like to import existing users within our Active Server
Directory into Request Tracker. Once there I will then authenticate
from Apache. I found this great link (http://www.gossamer-
Threads)
with a tar attachment (rtimportldap.tar) that does just the thing but
it’s now more than three years old. Is it still valid or has
something else come along to replace it?
Thanks!
Why not jsut authenticate against the ADS server live?

This would do that for you, wouldn’t it?

It only partially does it. I need a script that creates a batch of
users from my ldap directory server.
I don’t know if it would help, but I had a similar situation,
where I wanted to coordinate my RT users with real users
that I have in ldap and sql, etc.
So I hacked a little, to get the following:
1. We use web external auth, so the passwords
are always just stored in ldap.
2. If someone logs into the web site or sends email,
and doesn't already have an RT account, it
creates one on the fly. However, I made sure
all auto-created accounts (web or email) are non-privileged.
Giving a consultant privs is a manual thing :-)
3. When an account is autocreated, I can sometimes identify
the person by the web login or cannonicalize the email address.
If so, then I do a (ph in my case, ldap in yours) lookup
of additional info (dept name, phone) and stick these
into RT during acct creation.
Everything happens in the right order, and tickets do get
created correctly first time.
Only minor issue, I don't have a good way to delete people
when they leave, but Jesse and Todd have pointed me in
some very promising directions, so I have to go read some more code
when I next come up for air.
(I don't think I submitted all the changes back to BP, since they
didn't seem to be of enough generality at the time; they were
really set up for my specific case. But the overall
idea shouldn't be all that hard to copy. Now, it would be real
cool if I could store some url, maybe with ldap: protocol,
in RT and have it lookup the dept, phone etc in real time. My scheme
above is static, accurate only at the acct creation time.
But, that's beyond what I need/have time for.)
I could probably dig up where I made my changes, if that helps.

Have a look at what 3.6.0pre0 /3.4.CH7(Chaldea) has for on-the-fly
content inclusion for custom field values.
