[otrs] Ticket Notifications

2016-02-09 Thread Nick Lapp
In version 4 of OTRS we were able to use wildcards in the CustomerID field 
under Ticket Filter for notifications.  All of our customer IDs are prefixed 
with a building code so we were able to use that to send out notifications to 
outside emails (non agents) based on specific building.  In version 5 those 
wildcards don't seem to work anymore.  It's now an explicit field.  Does anyone 
have any suggestions for making this feature work again?  Either code 
modification or another work around we haven't thought of would be very much 
appreciated.

Thank you!

Nick

[otrs] OTRS 5 Notifications

2015-12-08 Thread Nick Lapp
Since we upgraded to OTRS 5 we're getting "duplicate" notifications.  It used 
to be that we would get "ticket queue update notifications" OR "ticket create 
notifications" depending on how the ticket came into the system.  For example, 
if it landed in the postmaster queue and then got moved to a queue by a generic 
agent job, we would only get a queue update notification, and now we're getting 
both.  Here is a log of a ticket as an example:

NewTicket

[otrs] LDAP Authentication

2014-09-03 Thread Nick Lapp
I have a list of possible LDAP servers in my Config.pm that customers may 
authenticate against.  Is it possible in the Config.pm file to target which 
LDAP server to use based off of the customers email domain with which they use 
to login?  Currently OTRS has to iterate through each LDAP server which slows 
the process down and causes a hang if any of the LDAP servers are unavailable.

[otrs] Manually Refresh Cache

2013-02-19 Thread Nick Lapp
I have a separate custom built service that automates inputting information 
such as customer information, queue information, and customer company 
information directly into the OTRS database.  Whenever an item such as a 
customer is added or updated via this process, the changes don't appear in the 
OTRS web interface until I go into another customer and hit update.  I'm 
assuming this is some sort of caching that helps improve the performance of 
OTRS and by inputting directly into the DB, the cache is not being rebuilt but 
by hitting update, it gets rebuilt.

So my question is, is there a way to automatically rebuild the cache so I don't 
have to manually hit update?  Or maybe it's already being rebuilt every so 
often via a cron job that I haven't noticed?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

[otrs] Email Strings

2013-01-29 Thread Nick Lapp
Is there a way to exclude the prior email strings in emails when they go out to 
customers in ORTS?  What happens is we end up with a really long page worth of 
duplicate information when the customer responds to the email and it comes back 
in as a new article.  With excluding the old information from the new article 
or excluding the old email strings from the emails that go out from OTRS would 
be an acceptable option for us.  I'm just not sure if there is a way to do that.

Hello all,

I am in the process of setting up OTRS for my organization.  We provide tech 
support to about 20 different organizations and are currently using WebHelpdesk 
as our helpdesk solution with each customer organization connected to 
WebHelpdesk with LDAP sync.  We would like to accomplish the same thing with 
OTRS allowing users within the different organizations to login to OTRS with 
their local AD account.

In order to improve the speed of OTRS, I have set up a separate service that 
syncs AD user information from the various organizations with the OTRS user 
database.  That way OTRS is relying on its own database for user information 
and it doesn't have to go out over an LDAP connection.  I have then set up LDAP 
authentication so the user is authenticated with AD and the user information is 
already in the OTRS database.  This has been working successfully with the 
first 10 organizations, but as soon as a user from the 11th organization tries 
to authenticate, it fails.  I know there is hard limit of 10 set for LDAP back 
ends so I'm assuming that same limit is also on LDAP authentication back ends 
which is causing the failure.  I'm also seeing in the system logs that the 10th 
organization is the last one OTRS attempts to authenticate against.

My question is, does anyone know of a way to override that limit of 10?  I've 
already come up with a successful workaround for the slowness caused by 
multiple LDAP customer data back ends and we're okay with slower login times 
due to multiple LDAP authentication sources.  Our real goal is a seamless 
experience for our customers.  Any help is much appreciated!

Best regards,

Nick

support to about 20 different organizations and are currently using WebHelpdesk 
as our helpdesk solution with each customer organization connected to 
WebHelpdesk with LDAP sync.  We would like to accomplish the same thing with 
OTRS allowing users within the different organizations to login to OTRS with 
their local AD account.

In order to improve the speed of OTRS, I have set up a separate service that 
syncs AD user information from the various organizations with the OTRS user 
database.  That way OTRS is relying on its own database for user information 
and it doesn't have to go out over an LDAP connection.  I have then set up LDAP 
authentication so the user is authenticated with AD and the user information is 
already in the OTRS database.  This has been working successfully with the 
first 10 organizations, but as soon as a user from the 11th organization tries 
to authenticate, it fails.  I know there is hard limit of 10 set for LDAP back 
ends so I'm assuming that same limit is also on LDAP authentication back ends 
which is causing the failure.  I'm also seeing in the system logs that the 10th 
organization is the last one OTRS attempts to authenticate against.

My question is, does anyone know of a way to override that limit of 10?  I've 
already come up with a successful workaround for the slowness caused by 
multiple LDAP customer data back ends and we're okay with slower login times 
due to multiple LDAP authentication sources.  Our real goal is a seamless 
experience for our customers.  Any help is much appreciated!

Best regards,

Nick
