User logon to rt in active directory environment

How does RT manage user logon. We run an Active Directory environment and looking at implementing RT. We do not want to replicate our users in linux for them to be able to login to RT to log jobs and check progress. How does RT manage users from AD and does anyone have a very good URL for a good setup in this environment ? Thank you

RT doesn’t manage users from AD/LDAP at all. You need to apply the LDAP
Overlay(s) to RT in order to add this functionality.
