Use LDAP on v4.4

1

Hi,

I’m trying to do an upgrade from 3.8 to 4.4 but I get the following error:

	RT::Authen::ExternalAuth has been cored since RT 4.4, please check the upgrade document for more details
	Can't locate Net/LDAP.pm in @INC

It seems that version not compatible with version 4.4. Are any workaround do solve it?

When install, I see:

cpan -i RT::Authen::ExternalAuth

...
*** Error: Your installed version of RT (4.4.4) is too new; this extension
            only works with versions older than 4.4.0.

Warning: No success on command[/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL]

....

Thanks so much.

You shouldn’t need to install the extension as its built in now. You’ll need to ensure the Perl Net::LDAP module is installed on your server though.

can’t use the same config?

Set($ExternalAuthPriority,[ 'AD_1','AD_2']);
Set($ExternalServiceUsesSSLorTLS,    0);
Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers,    1);
Set($ExternalSettings,
{
'AD_1'   =>  {
                'type'     =>  'xxxx',
                'server'   =>  '127.0.0.1',
                'user'     =>  'xxx',
                'pass'     =>  'xxx',
                'base'     =>  'dc=test,dc=net',
 ....

If you have the Plugin line for external auth you should remove that since the extension was made core
