im using externalauth in 3.8.1 and it works well with our ldap, but closer integration could be achieved via apache auth against a pam.d stack utilizing kerberos and samba to directly authenticate with your domain controllers. its less expensive for windows.
you could even audit your logins to the RT system through the event viewer. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerrit Kilian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 2:23 Subject: [rt-users] Best method to authenticate with AD To: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com > Hi > > > > I need to let RT authenticate users through AD.
