One of the needs we have here at the University of Oslo, is to keep
the information in RT up to date with the information in LDAP. To
make this happen, I wrote a small script to update the info for all
"local" RT users with information from LDAP.
It could be useful for others, so I post it here as well. The LDAP
connect and disconnect functions are available in an extention to
RT::USER on URL:http://www.usit.uio.no/it/rt/modifications.html.

LDAP database contain.
Not including Name to make sure users don’t suddenly change user
name because their mail address happen to point to a different user.
