Re: [rt-users] Question on setup

2011-10-25 Thread Bart
Hi,

Few questions on your setup:

   - On what OS have you installed RT?
   - Which installation steps did you take? (e.g. did you do the
   testdeps/fixdeps thingy?)
   - Are you using Apache to serve RT?
   - Can I assuming you've used the RT documentation for the apache vhost
   configuration?
   - What do the logs say? (assuming it's some flavor of Unix /var/log/)
   - Have you checked the permissions on the RT folders? (along with
   user/group ownerships)

Something like that at least, we need a little more info in order to help
:-)

 I’m installing RT 3.8.10. I have to use this version because I’m installing
 RTIR and that doesn’t support RT 4 yet. I think everything is set up
 correctly but when I login for the first time (user name ‘root’, password
 ‘password’) it displays the text of the file RT_HOME/NoAuth/Login.html. Let
 me know what information you need from me to help troubleshoot this. I’ve
 made very few changes to the RT_SiteConfig file, only the $rtname,
 $Organization, $DatabasePassword and $OwnerEmail variables. Thanks.

I believe the amount of tickets shown on the dashboard is something you set
in the user preferences or on as default in the RT_SiteConfig.pm:

User -- Options (see image)


Or set the default in the RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Set($DefaultSummaryRows, 10);


Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to properly configurate  RT to the elemental needs.

OS: Centos 5.4
RT: 4.0.2

The idea is to have as many queues as programs that we support are in
existence .
Each enterprise costumer has access to this queues (programs), so
there's a group in RT that classifies them

The issue consist in configurate the groups/queues in such way that they
will have present  the Dashboard options in the navigation bar.

In the wiki says Several new rights have been added to RT with regards
to dashboards. These rights must be granted (to a user or group) before
the dashboard options become available (Link:
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/ManualDashboards )

Please, could be possible some orientation regards this issue?

Hi,

Few questions on your setup:

 *   On what OS have you installed RT?
RHEL 5

 *   Which installation steps did you take? (e.g. did you do the 
testdeps/fixdeps thingy?)
Yes, did that. I had some issues with that, though. Testdeps said everything 
was fine but I still couldn't get the web page to display. After researching 
some, I ran the command `perl RT_HOME/sbin/rt-test-dependencies -with-mysql 
-with-modperl2`. This returned a lot of errors with missing perl modules. The 
strange thing was that it was looking in /usr/lib at the yum installed perl for 
the libraries but I used a /usr/local/{bin,lib} version that I'd installed 
myself. After some consideration, I think this is because it was looking for 
missing modules for the apache/mod_perl/mysql installs and they probably point 
to /usr/bin/perl. I installed the missing modules by hand and was able to get a 
login screen.

 *   Are you using Apache to serve RT?
Yes

 *   Can I assuming you've used the RT documentation for the apache vhost 
configuration?
Yes but I added the line 'Alias /rt /opt/rt3/share/html'

 *   What do the logs say? (assuming it's some flavor of Unix /var/log/)
I'm not seeing anything in the logs about this.

 *   Have you checked the permissions on the RT folders? (along with user/group 
ownerships)
Yes but not sure what they should be. They are mostly set to root but I 
recursively changed ownership on the share directory to apache.
Something like that at least, we need a little more info in order to help :-)

Thanks for the response!

 My question: is it possible to define mappings between AD (LDAP) groups
 and RT's user-defined groups such that e.g. when I onboard a new
 developer RT will automatically give her membership in its dev
 UD-group based on the fact that she's a member of (f'rinstance) the
 Engineering group in AD? I'd be OK with this happening as a result of
 an rtimportldap cronjob -or- at runtime (e.g. when she logs into RT for
 the first time, or creates a support ticket via email.) Basically, I
 have about 15 groups in Active Drecktory that collapse down to four or
 five different privilege sets in RT, and I'd prefer it if I didn't have
 to manage multiple groups in RT with similar/identical rights.

LDAPImport's mapping is LDAP Group Name - RT Group Name.
You can just take the 15 groups from LDAP, make them members of 4
groups in RT and assign rights to the top level groups.  Groups can be
members of Groups.

 2ndary requirement is the ability to update RT group membership based on
 AD group changes, f'rexample when user jschmoe is removed from the
 Engineering AD group and put into the sales engineering group then
 (presuming those map to different RT groups) the change should be
 automatically propagated to RT. Again, this could be event-driven or the
 result of a cronjob, I'm not picky.

LDAPImport should do this.

This generally means the server has rejected your query.
You can bump up the debug logging inside RT-Authen-ExternalAuth (since
that's where the warning is coming from) by finding the $ldap object
and calling something like $ldap-debug(15) on it (check the Net::LDAP
docs for more information about the debug logs).

You can also go examine your LDAP server's logs for details of the

Generally this means that the server denied your search for

Bruno,

Users that are NOT privileged will not show on the list for adding members
to a group. Once a user is privileged and a member of a group, they
automatically inherit all rights and privileges. They also will
automatically have access to any Queries that have been saved for any group
they are members of.

Hope this helps.

For incoming and outgoing email I thought of three differrent options:

  * *OPTION A: Re-addressed*
Incoming mail comes into the mail server and is readdressed to RT
server and forwarded
Outgoing mail coming from the RT server goes to the mail server and
is readdressed before going out to the world
Pro: one mail server to admin;  Con: pain to set up,
  * *OPTION B: Redirect*
Incoming mail comes into the mail server and is redirected to the RT
server
Outgoing mail coming from the RT server goes to the mail server and
is redirected to the rest of the world
Pro: one mail server, simpler to set up; Con: less of a setup pain,
but still
  * *OPTION C: Direct*
Incoming mail goes straight to the RT server
Outgoing mail coming from the RT server goes out to the world directly
Pro: Simple to set up;  Con: two mail servers to deal with

What is the best practice (or failing that, Most Common Practice) among
RT administrators?

Re: [rt-users] Searching for values in a custom field identified by ID?

Hello Kevin.

 If you're worried about name changes, just load the CF and use the
 -Name method to ensure you're always using the up-to-date name

I am indeed worried about name changes.

I am afraid your explanation does not make much sense to me as I am an
RT newbie. Are you able to illustrate you suggestion with code?

Thanks,
Tobias

Re: [rt-users] Question on setup

2011-10-25 Thread Greenberg, Joshua L
Here it is:

VirtualHost 10.10.10.10:80
ServerName server.domain

DocumentRoot /opt/rt3/share/html
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

 Alias /rt /opt/rt3/share/html

# optional apache logs for RT
# ErrorLog /opt/rt3/var/log/apache2.error
# TransferLog /opt/rt3/var/log/apache2.access

PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

Location /NoAuth/images
SetHandler default
/Location
Location /rt
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler RT::Mason
/Location
/VirtualHost

I just copied and pasted from the README but I added the Alias line. I also 
changed ‘Location /’ to ‘Location /rt’ or it broke other websites.

Hi,

Part of Apache config relevant to RT would help.

Re: [rt-users] Best Practice RE Mail Server

2011-10-25 Thread Francisco Jen Ou
Hi,

My suggestion:

- incoming email to sendmail and aliased by it to something like
rt_queue_name@rt_server.domain.com (where rt_server.domain.com resolves
to RT server's internal net IP).

- outgoing email sent directly by RT server (don't forget to set
$SMTPFrom correctly)

This way, there will be only one server to manage (though you will need
to setup mailgate on RT server once).

Did you try CF.42 or CF.{42}?

Re: [rt-users] Best Practice RE Mail Server

2011-10-25 Thread Wes Modes
Thanks for the suggestion. 

With this however, doesn't sendmail have to be running on the Rt Server
anyway to process all the incoming mail and execute RT scripts? 

For simplicities sake, I'm leaning more and more toward all mail coming
into and going out from the RT server.  What are the disadvantages to
this approach?

[rt-users] Private Groups in RT v4.0.x or equivalent?

2011-10-25 Thread David


Hi, I have a group of staff in a department that want to collaborate on some ticket(s) resolution. I 
was going to add a generic user, create a private group and add the particular staff to that private 
group. Ownership of any tickets that are going to be collaborated on would be given to the generic 
user. But I can't find private groups in the new install of RT 4.0.2. Until very recently we have 
been using 3.6 so I've lost my way.


Is there a better method than the one I was going to use? I'm guessing that private groups has been 
depreciated in RT v4, if so is there an equivalent?


Thanks.


David.

Re: [rt-users] Best Practice RE Mail Server

2011-10-25 Thread Francisco Jen Ou
Yes, RT server needs its local SMTP (Postfix, Sendmail, Qmail).

If your existing Sendmail is used for no other purposes (like normal
user email), then you can just install and configure SMTP on RT server,
and configure NAT on your firewall so RT server SMTP is visible to world.
