These may have nothing to do with anything, but for what it’s worth:
In the WebUI, under “Logged in as…” → Settings → About Me
Triggers a warning level message in the log about replacing the deprecated /User/Prefs.html with /Prefs/AboutMe.html
Probably was something I did wrong on the initial install (upgrade from 4.2.11 to 4.4.0rc1), but rt-ldapimport was in the source tree but did not end up in my RT sbin dir.
Maybe this was because my config line has never included " --enable-externalauth" ?
Seems like (warning: have not done extensive tests!) putting my LDAP auth settings into a .pm file underneath RT_SiteConfig.d did not work, I had to be sure those were in RT_SiteConfig.pm to take effect. Other settings in those arbitrary config .pm files do seem to work fine.
Straight from the upgrade documentation, merely confirming/reiterating here:
Since I did use ExternalAuthId field, I had to remove those entries from my RT_SiteConfig.pm file (or RT::Record complains).
Also, the “make upgrade-database” command bombed (as intended) because I had not FIRST blanked that column in the database, e.g.
mysql> update Users set ExternalAuthId = NULL;

Thanks again for your detailed feedback!

I’m not seeing this warning. Grepping the code for ‘User/Prefs’ also shows that it’s not being linked to in 4.4. I wonder if you have a local customization of /Elements/Tabs or some such?

Thank you. Is there anything we could do better for you here?

Yep. I made sure make upgrade-database would refuse to drop unused columns with data in them, in case people had decided to co-opt them for their own use.

I don’t know how you managed that piece of magic, but apparently you changed something on my server because now I cant replicate that either!!
I likely missed a re-start (or clearing Mason cache), or perhaps its exactly as you said and I changed local customizations after reporting that.
Very sorry for the run-around!!!
For Apache Kerberos web authentication with Active Directory to
work, I had to remove the old ‘patch’ to lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm
I was using (from … ) and instead go back to using Set($WebRemoteUserAuth, 1); in my RT_SiteConfig.pm file.
Thank you. Is there anything we could do better for you here?
Not at all! I appreciate the thought though!
I was using that code mod to enable web auth to work in conjunction with Apache Kerberos and everything Just Works inside native RT now!
