Follow these steps:
  
http://doc.otrs.org/3.2/en/html/manual-installation-of-otrs.html#database-configuration
There are not pitfalls. Just check if all Perl modules are installed and keep 
an eye on the Apache httpd
configuration when using mod_perl, I recommend to avoid mod_perl during the 
setup.

Did you tried it like explained int the manual?

Check your sync parameter. With mod_auth_kerb you'll get the samaccountname 
with or without - depends on your configuration - the domain in uppercase.
Do you sync against the samaccountname?

Check out http://doc.otrs.org/3.1/en/html/external-backends.html in the docs.
These options are not available via SysConfig, you have to edit

For some dashboard items you should also consider the CacheTTLLocal value. 
Just look at Ticket -> Frontend::Agent::Dashboard to see what are your settings.

Yes, this is possible. Add as much fields as needed in the mapping definition 
for the customer source.

You can solve this issue with some Javascript which looks for a specific field 
defined in the customer field mapping.

One idea for incoming tickets via e-mail could be a customization which checks 
the customer's account details and add an note, decrease priority or whatever.

I suggest to use the API. There is a function for deleting tickets.
My delete date is older than 3 years, I do it with a perl script.

Hi,

for authentication on the 'builtin' web interface you can use
nearly any db where an Perl DBI driver is available (see
http://dbi.perl.org/), 
LDAP against OpenLDAP, Active Directoy, eDirectory, etc. HTTP Basic
Autehntication allows
you to use Kerberos/NTLM, OpenID Provider (with mod_openid in an Apache
environment).

Hi,

for SOAP you have to configure Core:SOAP via Kernel/Config.pm or SysConfig
(http://doc.otrs.org/3.0/en/html/config.html#Framework:Core::SOAP)
Here is an exampe SOAP client, coded in PHP:
http://wiki.otterhub.org/index.php?title=Create_a_ticket_in_OTRS_from_PHP_via_RPC

The iPhone-Handle gives you an JSON Interface. With OTRS 3.1 the Generic
Interface was introduced to connect external systems.

Hi,

perldoc  Net::LDAP tells me this syntax fir LDAP-bind:

bind ( DN, OPTIONS ):

Try it without dn=>, only the options are intruduced by an key like
password.
And yes it could be possible to use user@domain, e.g. with Active
Directory (userPrincipalName).
The login name/bind dn depends on the LDAP server and not on the Net::LDAP
module.

Yes this is possible, use Kernel::System::Auth:LDAP for agents and
Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::LDAP for customer. You can also specifiy
multiple
ADs for customer.

I saved my history with the change from local to ldap agents. As far as

Hi,

Yes you can. But you have to reconfigure a lot.
I recommend using ACLs (see

next state based on the current one.

Hi,

Two suggestions:

1st) Do you have Ticket::Frontend::AgentTicketNote###State: enabled?
2nd) If you use Apache w/ mod_perl did you enabled PerlModule

Hi

You can add customized links via the Customer user backend. See the mapping 
section in the documentation 
http://doc.otrs.org/3.0/en/html/customer-user-backend.html
You have to include the chat ID from the data source to use it in the link.

Hi,

for allowing a group to add to a ticket check for RequiredLock in the
SysConfig, e.g. Ticket::Frontend::AgentTicketNote###RequiredLock and set
it to No.
For updating the team use the NotificationEvents like ArticleCreate,
ArticleSend etc.

Hi,

choose an unused TicketFreeText Field and configure it properly:

then make it visible for the customer:

I assume you with all merged tickets you talk about the slaves: in that
case no.

I merge tickets from the same customer on the same topic.
Do I have the same problem on multiple customer I choose on 'leading'
ticket as the master and link all other ticket (linked as child to the
parent=master ticket) as slave.
All action on the master ticket will be done on the slaves, e.g. add
note, send e-mail, pending state, close etc.
Actions on a slave won't effect other tickets.

I link them. In addition to that you should figure out if the

Hi Niklas:

Use the queue instead of the ticket in the section Possible/PossibleNot.
At the time of using the ticket creation mask the ticket still not exist.

Hi Lars,

Sorry, I have to disagree. It depends on your installation. If OTRS is
running on an Apache
with mod_perl a restart is necessary when Apache::Reload is disabled or
not proper configured.
That's why I alway recommend to restart the webserver.

Hi,

You could create an new Frontendmodule based on the AgentTicketPhone and

Hi Francesco:

Have a look into SysConfig and check the configuration settings for
Frontend::Agent::Ticket::ViewPriority
Changing Ticket::Frontend::AgentTicketPriority###RequiredLock from yes to
no should work for you.

Don't forget to restart your webserver.

Hi Aleksander,

I wrote a little wrapper class for me and that's my TicketGet method:

public function getTicketData ($ticketId)
{
$ticketData = $this->client->__soapCall('Dispatch',
array($this->username, $this->password, "TicketObject", "TicketGet",
"Result", "ARRAY", "UserID", 1, "TicketID", $ticketId));
$data = array();
foreach (array_keys($ticketData) as $key => $val) {
$data[$key] = $ticketData[$val];
}
$td = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($data); $i = $i + 2) {
$td[$data[$i]] = $data[$i + 1];
}
return $td;
    }

The method returns a hash array, e.g. $ticketData['TicketFreeText5']

Hi,

We use this URL with Cisco Agent Software:

QUEUE=QueueID||Queuename, like 1||Postmaster


Each incoming and answered call open a new tab in the Agent's software. I
took the information from
http://www.otrs-treff.de/otrs-erstellung-einer-url-mit-werten-die-in-felder-des-telefontickets-uebernommen-werden-cti-anbindu
(sorry, it's a german site) and checked the perl source for additional

If you are able to move e-mails for OTRS into a specific folder by

Hi,

creating a ticket by a received sms is not a big task. You can use e.g.
SMS Tools 3 (http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/) for receiving sms and trigger a
script for each received sms. The script can create tickets via the soap
interface.
