RT::Authen::ExternalAuth?

Hello mailing list,

Kevin - We gave up on RT 4. RTFM is not the answer. The problem is
threefold:

  1. DBI is too new to upgrade the old style DB. People running fedora or
    rawhide are going to start yelling at some point when they go to upgrade
    if they’re upgrading from an old enough version.
  2. FCGI changed from being statically linked to a module that this
    causes…
  3. …the new mason’s handling of UTF to break the old DB.

That being said - I made it to 3.8.10 which tells me something goes very
wrong between 3.8.10 and 4.0.0. The docs for External Auth talk
about .08 being current. For 3.8.10, the docs talk about .08_02. CPAN
says .09 is out but the docs on the wiki don’t discuss it. Which one do
I use for a 3.8.10 RT?

I’m afraid I don’t understand this statement.
You may need to provide an error or log snippet that demonstrates the
problem.

Use 0.09
I write the README for RT-Authen-ExternalAuth, I do not maintain the
wiki pages for it. My opinion will always be in the README.

Oh, now that I reread your original thread I see.

You didn’t run any database upgrades between 3.4.5 and 4.0.0 other than
those described in UPGRADING.mysql.

That’s going to cause you problems on 3.8.10 also.

So RT 3.8.10 is working swimmingly well except for one possible post
upgrade snag - two users (out of 100+) reported that after RT was
restarted they were logged in as someone else.

Any ideas?On Tue, 2011-06-14 at 15:17 -0400, Kevin Falcone wrote:
