RT-Authen-ExternalAuth-0.05

Hi,
I am using RT-Authen-ExternalAuth-0.05 and all is generally good.
Our users are in OpenLDAP which looks something like the following.

dc=ourdomain,dc=ie
ou=Users
ou=Students
ou=50
uid=501…
uid=502…
ou=51
uid=511…
uid=512…

All staff emails auto-create an account when email is first sent to RT
or when they logon
to self-service. External gmail type accounts are OK as well. However,
our student
accounts generate the below errors. All student account uids are
basically their 8 digit
student number and emails are of form JOE.BLOGGS.2009@ourdomain.ie.

I have given ‘Everyone’ permissions on the relevant queue.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why one group of users work but not
others. Obvious
differences between accounts are that uids for students are all
numeric, and their LDAP
branch is organised a little differently, but when an email is sent it
finds the relevant attrs.
from OpenLDAP.

When I logon using my credentials, in LDAP log I see a SRCH and then a
BIND. But nothing
appears when trying a student account self-service login.

[root@xxxxx ~]# tail -f /var/log/ldap.log|grep “jbloggs”
Oct 17 11:23:14 xxx slapd[29302]: conn=2505948 op=2 SRCH
base=“dc=ourdomain,dc=ie” scope=2 deref=2
filter=“(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=jbloggs))”
Oct 17 11:23:15 xxx slapd[29302]: conn=2505950 op=3 BIND
dn=“uid=jbloggs,ou=Users,dc=ourdomain,dc=ie” method=128

Regards,
Jason
