I’m playing with radio buttons in 4.0. I can configure them as Yes/No but
I end up with 3 - No Value | Yes | No. Is there any way to get rid of the
“No Value” button?

Nope.

Much appreciated. Using alternate email addresses instead of alternate uids sounds even
better. Is this url: [1]http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/AutoCreateAndCanonicalizeUserInfo
what I need? If not, can you please point me to a page where step-by-step instruction is.

Nope, that page is about 5 years out of date and won’t work with any
modern version of RT. Thanks for pointing it out, I’ve added the
relevant warning flags.

As I mentioned, it’s a branch in the github repo for
RT-Authen-ExternalAuth. There are no step by step instructions for
setting it up. You’d need to be comfortable making a git clone and
switching branches and reading the updated documentation. You can
find the github repo GitHub - bestpractical/rt-authen-externalauth

Hi all,

We have RT4.0 with RT::Authen::ExternalAuth. In attr_match_list
section we have:
‘attr_match_list’ => [ ‘Name’,
‘EmailAddress’,
‘RealName’,
],

You really don’t want RealName there, otherwise
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth will disallow two people named Bob Smith.

‘attr_map’ => { ‘Name’ => ‘uid’,
‘EmailAddress’ => ‘mail’,
‘RealName’ => ‘cn’,
}

However, on our ldap (openldap) a typical user has a uid and cn. For
instance, my info on the ldap is:
dn: uid=hossein,ou=People,o=TRIUMF
uid: hossein
cn: Hossein Rafighi
sn: Rafighi
mail: [2]hossein@triumf.ca
mail: [3]Hossein.Rafighi@triumf.ca
givenName: Hossein

Is it possible to alter the attr_match, attr_map, or any other
attribute in RT to authenticate based on uid or cn, and not just
uid? I tried changing various settings, but to no avail.

You’d have to extend the module to use more than just the Name in the
query it runs for DN. There’s a branch in the repo for refactoring
some of that code, but it concentrates on alternate email addresses
not alternate uids. It may make doing what you want easier though.

Hi All,

I would like my clients to able to feedback a ticket based on rating
that they would just select when a ticket is resolve. With this I would
be able to measure the feedback to my clients based on this. I don’t
know if this is already in place on RT but it would be nice to know if
someone could point to right direction.

Regards,
Rocel

At umbc we incorporated a survey link in our resolve template and it works great.

Joe
