Re: [rt-users] ExternalAuth - loading fine but isn't authenticating to LDAP
Wow. 3 days of on/off debugging and getting frustrated, for a spelling mistake... hahahaha, Much appreciated Kevin. I can now login using an AD Account and it creates it properly in RT. Thanks! Mike.

Hi Kevin,
I'm not a Perl wiz at all, and I'm just grasping at straws trying to
troubleshoot why it isn't working.

Re: [rt-users] ExternalAuth - loading fine but isn't authenticating to LDAP
Ok, so I turned on rt.logging and surprise!!! apparently it is touching our
LDAP, even though AD doesn't log it by default(stupid AD).
Now I'm seeing a few things in the debug level logging
First thing that really stands out is ...
[error]: Couldn't create user mjohnson: Could not create user
(/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/lib/RT/Authen/ExternalAuth.pm:129)
[debug]: Autohandler called ExternalAuth. Response: (0, No User)
(/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/html/Callbacks/ExternalAuth/autohandler/Auth:26)
Something is preventing the user from being created... based on the INSERT
language I see, it looks like RTFM doesn't work with 3.8.8??? I dunno, it's
trying to use a field called Priviledged in the User table... which doesn't
exist?
I'm not sure if I"m on the right track, but it would be nice if anyone has
experienced this or has any thoughts to let me know!
Mike.

Re: [rt-users] ExternalAuth - loading fine but isn't authenticating to LDAP
So,
After a few days of searching and testing, I've come to the conclusion that
RT simply isn't sending anything to our LDAP server to authenticate...
RT is still using RT's regular authentication method.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my setup? RT doesn't complain when I
boot it up, yet ExternalAuth will not even attempt to authenticate to my
LDAP when I try to login.
I've used SoftTerra's LDAP browser to ensure the "service rt"(account name
is svc_rt) can bind to the LDAP and I even gave it update rights during
troubleshooting... this is also how I figured out that RT isn't binding,
only the LDAP browser connections are showing up in the Event log.
I've also verified that my RT box can hit the ldap port(by "telnet to
myad.mydomain.local 389")
I'm lost on where to go next
Here are all the LDAP/ExternalAuth related settings in my config...
# LDAP SETTINGS
Set($ExternalAuthPriority,['NOSMLDAP']);
Set($ExternalInfoPriority,['NOSMLDAP']);
Set($ExternalServiceUSersSSLorTLS,0);
Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers,1);
Set($WebExternalAuto,1);
Set($AutoCreate,{Priviledged =>1});
Set($ExternalSettings, {
'NOSMLDAP' => {
'type' => 'ldap',
'server'=> '',
'user' => 'cn=service rt,ou=Users,ou=Northern Ontario
School of Medicine,dc=nosm,dc=local',
'pass'=> '',
'base' => 'dc=nosm,dc=local',
'filter'=> '(&(objectCategory=User)
(ObjectClass=Person))',
'd_filter' =>
'(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)',
'tls' => 0,
'ssl_version' => 3,
'net_ldap_args' => [version => 3 ],
'group' => 'cn=Staff,ou=Groups,ou=Northern Ontario
School of Medicine,dc=nosm,dc=local',
'group_attr'=> 'member',
'attr_match_list' => ['Name',

'attr_map' => { 'Name' => 'sAMAccountName',
'EmailAddress' => 'mail',
'RealName' => 'cn',
'ExternalAuthId' => 'sAMAccountName'
}
}
}
);
Set(@Plugins,qw(RT::Authen::ExternalAuth));
As I indicated before
CentOS 5.5
RT3.8.8
ExternalAuth 0.8
LDAP = Windows 2003 AD
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Mike.

Hi Haris,
No go yet.
Kenneth did send some info for me to check out, perhaps it may help you...
**Kenneth's email cut/pasted**
Mike,
First off, check to see how you've set $WebExternalAuto. I'm not sure how
that would affect LDAP if it was turned on.
Second, I'll assume you've set your "Plugins" appropriately to include
"RT::Authen::ExternalAuth".
Thirdly, you have to make sure certain LDAP parameters are consistent (ie.
if you're using TLS, etc.).
Below is what we use for our list of parameters:
Set($ExternalAuthPriority, [ 'My_LDAP' ] );
Set($ExternalInfoPriority, [ 'My_LDAP' ] );
Set($ExternalServiceUsesSSLorTLS, 1);
Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers, 0);
Set(
$ExternalSettings,
{
'My_LDAP' =>
{
‘type’=> 'ldap',
‘server’ => 'ldap.lbl.gov’,
‘user’=> ‘’,
‘pass’=> ‘’,
‘base’=> 'ou=People,o=name of our company,c=US’,
‘filter’ => '(&(status that equals active)(|(dicision
code)))’,
‘d_filter’ => '(!(|(lblEmpStat=Staff)(lblEmpStat=Guest)))',
‘tls’=> 1,
‘net_ldap_args’=> [ version => 3],

I don't think the attr_map would affect this, but your match list could.
Anyway, check it all out cause if there are any inconsistencies (like TLS
being used and on), it will fail.
Hope this helps.

Re: [rt-users] ExternalAuth - loading fine but isn't authenticating to LDAP
Mike,
First off, check to see how you've set $WebExternalAuto. I'm not sure how
that would affect LDAP if it was turned on.
Second, I'll assume you've set your "Plugins" appropriately to include
"RT::Authen::ExternalAuth".
Thirdly, you have to make sure certain LDAP parameters are consistent (ie.
if you're using TLS, etc.).
Below is what we use for our list of parameters:
*Set($ExternalAuthPriority, [ 'My_LDAP' ] );*
*Set($ExternalInfoPriority, [ 'My_LDAP' ] );*
*Set($ExternalServiceUsesSSLorTLS, 1);*
*Set($AutoCreateNonExternalUsers, 0);*
*Set(*
*$ExternalSettings,*
* {*
*'My_LDAP' =>*
* {*
*‘type’=> 'ldap',*
*‘server’ => 'ldap.lbl.gov’,*
*‘user’=> ‘’,*
*‘pass’=> ‘’,*
*‘base’=> 'ou=People,o=name of our company,c=US’,*
*‘filter’ => '(&(status that equals active)(|(dicision
code)))’,*
*‘d_filter’ => '(!(|(lblEmpStat=Staff)(lblEmpStat=Guest)))',*
*‘tls’=> 1,*
*‘net_ldap_args’=> [ version => 3],*
*‘attr_match_list’ => ['Name',*
* 'EmailAddress',*
* 'RealName',*
* 'uid'*
*],*
*‘attr_map’=> {'Name' => 'uid',*
* 'EmailAddress'=>
'mail',*
* 'Organization' =>
‘o’,*
* 'RealName' =>
'cn',*
* 'ExternalAuthId' =>
'uid',*
* 'Gecos'
=> 'uid',*
* 'WorkPhone' =>
'telephonenumber',*
* 'Address1' =>
'lblmailstop',*
* 'Address2' =>
'postaladdress’*
* }*
* }*
* }*
* );*
*1;*
**
I don't think the attr_map would affect this, but your match list could.
Anyway, check it all out cause if there are any inconsistencies (like TLS
being *used* and *on*), it will fail.
Hope this helps.
