[rt-users] Creating templates for data entry boxes

[Chris Herrmann]

Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to create a template / scrip that prepopulates
the Text Area "UpdateContent" on the Update.html page, with an action of
"Comment".

If you have a signature this is inserted into the comment - I'm after
another way of putting text into every comment, that the end user can then
modify. The idea is that this will give them the framework for their
ticket notes - something like:

Start Time:

Problem Description:

Work Performed:

Outcome:

Next Steps:

End Time:

=

All of the scrip & template wiki entries I can see refer to email-centric
actions - for example "notify Owner on Comment". What I want is
"Prepopulate Message with Template text".

Is there an inbuilt scrip I can use for this purpose, or do I need to
build a custom action? I'm not clear what object I'd be referring to
either, because strictly speaking it's not a Transaction Object because it
doesn't exist yet (i.e. until you hit save). Maybe it's a content object?
I really don't know...

For bonus points I'd love to record starting & ending times automatically,
and use this to populate time worked, but one thing at a time!

Where do I start looking?

Thanks,

Chris

this is the part that is probably killing you on your LDAP authentication
piece.  Active Directory does not allow anonymous bind for LDAP
authentication.  You will need to create a non-privileged user in AD to do
the binding and place the user name and password for that user in your
RT_SiteConfig.pm file.  This user will be used buy the
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth plugin to bind to AD LDAP.  Once bound
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth will be able to search for the user attempting to
login and use *that* persons credentials to authenticate into RT.

If you're using RT::Authen::ExternalAuth then you can just use
internal RT accounts and the SelfService UI and configure your rights
properly and you'll get the feature the original poster sounds like he

Making it plaintext is non-trivial and has been on one of our

You're going to have to look at the rt-email-dashboards script which
does the actual HTML generation if you want to change things, but be
aware that it works by directly executing Dashboards/Render.html

[rt-users] "This is a brand new ticket" test in Scrip custom condition

[Jeff Blaine]

Probably an easy answer to this one.

I have a custom condition for a scrip which deals with a
custom field.  The condition and the rest of the code all works
great, except when the submitted ticket is *brand new*
(New ticket in --> queuename).

I would like to add to my custom condition logic to ensure
that this case is also addressed.

How does one query for "is this transaction creating a new
ticket?"

RT 3.8.7

I must be misunderstanding something, because as I see it, it

causes that Custom Field to be non-optional.

Type:Enter multiple values
Validate:(?#-MM-DD)^\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d$

Creating a new ticket via the web GUI is rejected with:

What am I doing wrong?  We don't want this field to be
required.  *IF* it is set to something, it must match
that regexp.

SuperUser, but that gives them access to everything.

Shredding is not something that's really condoned, but is often a
necessary evil, so it is reserved for root; particularly given the way
shredding handles users separately :-/

You should setup filters to eliminate such things before they get to
RT, and create another queue for those that make it through to be
moved to. Root can then periodically process the backlog.

[rt-users] RealName instead of Name

Hi everyone,

after migrating to RT 3.8.7 from 3.6.3, users in drop-down fields  (e.g.

inconvenience by some people. 
Is there an administrative setting to change it back? If not, what would be the

Looks like the whole thing is dying during the MySQL check.

1. Provide the whole config
2. Are you sure you're supposed to be using ExternalAuth for MySQL auth?
Are you actually using it to check against an external MySQL source, or
are you trying to use MySQL to check RT's own database?

Re: [rt-users] RT::Action not found after upgrade 3.8.2 -> 3.8.8

[Razvan Cosma]

OK, tried another trick now: created a RT/Action/.pm file that only does
print caller(); and it seems it's called from RT::ScripAction which leads to
the file ScripAction_Overlay.pm and at line 173
eval "require $type" || die "Require of $type failed@\n";
still digging..

This should work.  However, alternatively you could just use:

   Order Deny,Allow

(no 'Allow from ...' necessary, but it doesn't hurt if it is there) That
defaults to allowing anything, unless explicitly denied.  Make sure that
Apache has read access to /usr/local/share/rt38/html -- it should be
world readable in a standard installation from ports.  (Not writable
though -- everything under that location should be writable only by root.)

>  
> Alias /rt/ /usr/local/share/rt38/html/

Also, this is not sufficient configuration on its own to give you a
working RT setup.  You need to add something like the following:

PerlRequire /usr/local/bin/webmux.pl


SetHandler default


   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler RT::Mason


Cheers,

Matthew

[rt-users] RT & mysql / LDAP Auth

[Julian Grunnell]

Hi - hoping someone can help me, I'm trying to get the
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth plugin to work so I can use LDAP for
authentication. Just using mysql at the moment, so want to keep this as
well. Running RT 3.8.5 on Centos, I'd like mysql auth first and then
LDAP next. I've managed to configure this without any errors and my
mysql authentication still works after a httpd restart. However LDAP
auth never works, I'm not that familiar with LDAP so am hoping if I
provide my config and rt.log below someone might be able to point me in
the right direction:

 

 



# AN EXAMPLE LDAP SERVICE

'My_LDAP'   =>  {   ## GENERIC
SECTION

# The type of
service (db/ldap/cookie)

'type'
=>  'ldap',

# The server
hosting the service

'server'
=>  '172.17.2.1',

##
SERVICE-SPECIFIC SECTION

# If you can
bind to your LDAP server anonymously you should

# remove the
user and pass config lines, otherwise specify them here:

#

# The username
RT should use to connect to the LDAP server

'user'
=>  'ldap-rt',

# The password
RT should use to connect to the LDAP server

'pass'
=>  'x',

#

# The LDAP
search base

'base'
=>  'ou=hosting,ou=corp,dc=internal,dc=hosteurope,dc=com',

#

# ALL FILTERS
MUST BE VALID LDAP FILTERS ENCASED IN PARENTHESES!

# YOU **MUST**
SPECIFY A filter AND A d_filter!!

#

# The filter to
use to match RT-Users

'filter'
=>  '(objectClass=User)',

# A catch-all
example filter: '(objectClass=*)'

#

# The filter
that will only match disabled users

'd_filter'
=>  '(objectClass=FooBarBaz)',

# A catch-none
example d_filter: '(objectClass=FooBarBaz)'

#

# Should we try
to use TLS to encrypt connections?

'tls'
=>  0,

# SSL Version to
provide to Net::SSLeay *if* using SSL

'ssl_version'
=>  3,

# What other
args should I pass to Net::LDAP->new($host,@args)?

'net_ldap_args'
=> [version =>  3   ],

# Does
authentication depend on group membership? What group name?

'group'
=>  'GROUP_NAME',

# What is the
attribute for the group object that determines membership?

'group_attr'
=>  'GROUP_ATTR',

## RT ATTRIBUTE
MATCHING SECTION

# The list of RT
attributes that uniquely identify a user

# This example
shows what you *can* specify.. I recommend reducing this

# to just the
Name and EmailAddress to save encountering problems later.

 
'attr_match_list'   => ['Name',

 
'EmailAddress',

 
'RealName',

 
'WorkPhone',

 
'Address2'
