It just makes RT defer authentication to any external source, like Apache. In our case, we are using Stanford's WebAuth and a few extra config lines to make RT use our non-standard user variable name since WebAuth can't change apache's REMOTE_USER: # Make RT use the WebAuth HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER variable instead of Apache's REMOTE_USER: use RT::Interface::Web; { no warnings 'redefine'; sub RT::Interface::Web::WebCanonicalizeInfo { return $ENV{'HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER'} ? lc $ENV{'HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER'} : $ENV{'HTTP_X_MYREMOTE_USER'}; } } > On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 9:40 AM, Jesse Vincent > <je...@bestpractical.com> wrote: > > > > On Mon, Aug 09, 2010 at 09:31:07AM -0400, testwreq wreq wrote: > > With WebExternalAuth, you never see the login screen.
