RT-External Auth & RT 4.0

Hi,

I’ve replicated our production setup and upgraded it to 4.0 without a
problem. I’ve now thrown External Auth into the mix (new install via
cpan), and I’m having mixed results.

We have 2 directory systems - Open Directory (openldap) and Active
Directory

AD authenticates fine, but OD just will not authenticate at all.

Here’s my RT_SiteConfig.pm

Set($rtname, ‘ourdomain’);
Set($Organization , “ourdomain”);
Set($WebPort, 80);# + ($< * 7274) % 32766 + ($< && 1024));
Set($WebDomain, ‘rt2.ourdomain’ );
my $port = RT->Config->Get(‘WebPort’);
Set($WebBaseURL,
($port == 443? ‘https’: ‘http’) .‘://’
. RT->Config->Get(‘WebDomain’)
. ($port != 80 && $port != 443? “:$port” : ‘’)
);
Set($MaxAttachmentSize , 10000000);
Set($MailCommand , ‘sendmail’);
Set($SendmailArguments , “-oi -t”);
Set($CorrespondAddress , ‘Request_Tracker’);
Set($CommentAddress , ‘Request_Tracker_Comment’);
Set($HomePageRefreshInterval, 60);
Set(@Plugins,qw(RT::Authen::ExternalAuth));
Set($ExternalAuthPriority, [ ‘My_AD’,
‘My_OD’
]
);
Set($ExternalInfoPriority, [ ‘My_AD’,
‘My_OD’
]
);
Set($ExternalServiceUsesSSLorTLS, 0);
Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers, 0);
Set($ExternalSettings, {

AD users log in, but then do not show up in the users section so I can’t
assign them permissions.
OD users fail to log in with “Your username or password is incorrect”

The message in the log is: [Tue Jun 7 10:09:10 2011] [error]: Couldn’t
create user Staffuser: Name in use
(/opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm:129)

The name is not in use however - anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

They default to Unprivileged - search for them using the admin UI.

How are you checking that it isn’t in use, have you searched for them
or are you just looking at the list of Privileged users?

-kevin

Hi,

Thanks for that - My AD Users were unprivileged as you said they would be

  • letting them be assigned rights made them show in the list.

As far as the OD users are concerned, it’s still not working:

[Wed Jun 8 08:14:11 2011] [error]: Couldn’t create user 070888: Name in

192.164.0.67 (/opt/rt4/sbin/…/lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm:639)

The users names are not in use - searching for disabled users via the UI
still doesn’t show them. Browsing the database tables via mysql show does
not show up identical users either. Very strange.

That’s a different problem. You can’t have numerical usernames in RT

-kevin

070888 is the shortname for A Weetman - neither of these seem to work

I’m specifying the correct ldap attribute, it’s just not working!

Has anyone succeeded in getting external auth working with open directory?

Please show the error logs when you have RT creating an account with a
non-numeric attribute.

Hi Guy,
this might be a problem with your attr_match_list, which is possible
done on Name and not just on user id / EmailAddress.

Can you verify this and report back?

Are the usernames the same? Since it certainly seems that AD matched
and proceeded with auth. The extension should have logged the query
it ran in AD to do the match.

The other points in this thread about your attr_match_list and shared
email/usernames are well worth pursuing.
