Zlib uncompress error

I'm getting the following error when I try to print a ticket from the customer's zoom ticket page: Undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::uncompress called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/PDF/API2/Basic/TTF/Name.pm line 110.

Clarification on LDAP authentication.
by Nielson, Adam 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Ok, so it appears I have it "working" with an AD forest. I wanted to clarify what it does. So, when someone goes to the customer.pl or index.pl website, even if they = are logged into their computer with a AD domain user, the website will STIL= L prompt them for a username and password? Or does it automatically authen= ticate them? If you have to provide a login and password, is it your domain username (as= it appears to be) and then instead of them having to store their password = information in a SQL database, its just stored on the AD domain? Also, if the AD domain requires an account to access it, does this account = have to have "privileges" to the ldap server? Or can it just be a user? Also, do I have to create EACH user within OTRS in order for an LDAP user t= o log in?

Re: [otrs] OTRS support for virtual sites
by Richard Hinkamp - BeSite 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

I think is would be possible. You would need to change some OTRS code though. You could have per site an index.pl which loads OTRS from a shared location. You would have to create a way to tell OTRS where to find the config for this specific install. Same thing must be done for customer.pl and faq.pl etc and for every script you may want to run (pop3 fetching, pending jobs, etc). If you can code perl, I think it will be possible to achieve this. Wouldn't know if my theory works in practice, so no guarantees! ;) Regards, RIchard _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/ _______________________________________________ OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs Support or consulting for your OTRS system? => http://www.otrs.com/

Error creating new customer account

Hi, I am trying out OTRS to see if it fits our needs for a helpdesk system. However I am running into a problem when I try to create a new customer account via customer.pl. When I hit create I get the following error: Software error: IO::Handle: bad open mode: >: at /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/cpan-lib/MIME/Entity.pm line 1925 It looks like the user account has been created because If I go back and try again it tells me that the account already exists.

internal communication between two depatments via tickets
by Marcus Sobchak <lists＠localguru.de> 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi, is it possible to create interal tickets, eg. if a member of the sales team wants to open a ticket in the helpdesk queue? Basically I'd like to use OTRS for internal communication between the different departments and not only for incoming mails from external customers. My current configuration is one pop3 account for each queue. Mails from a customer to dep1(a)domain.com will be droped into queue dep1, emails to dep2(a)domain.com go to queue dep2 etc. This communication works fine as long as the requests come from the customer side (outside). But how do I open as a member of dep1 an "internal" ticket for dep2? Sending an email from my dep1 queue to dep2(a)domain.com seems to be the wrong way, because in the moment otrs fetches the mail from the dep2 pop3 account, the same sent email is attached to my opend ticket as customer answer. So any ideas how to handle that? Thanks, Marcus
