Kerberos and LDAP Authentication
by Juan Manuel Clavero Almirón 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, our company network offers Domain (Kerberos) and LDAP authentification. Since the beginning of the OTRS project, we've been using LDAP Auth, but people in Domain would like to enable Kerberos Auth in OTRS. I've succesfully enabled Kerberos in Apache and AuthModule = 'Kernel::System::Auth::HTTPBasicAuth', but now people not in domain are not able to login. I've tried with 2 AuthModules ($Self->{AuthModule1} = 'Kernel::System::Auth::HTTPBasicAuth' and $Self->{AuthModule2} = 'Kernel::System::Auth::LDAP'), but OTRS never gets to the LDAP Auth Has anyone tried such a configuration? Anyone has a hint? Kind regards, Juan Clavero

Adding links using the SOAP interface
by cyrille.bollu＠belnet.be 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, I’ve find here http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs/2009-October/028972.html <http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs/2009-October/028972.html> a way to add links using the SOAP API. However, this is not documented in OTRS’ admin manual. And, looking at the code, I don’t see anything related to links in the “GenericInterface/Operation” folder: support@otrs:/opt/otrs/Kernel$ ls -l GenericInterface/Operation total 24 -rw-rw-r-- 1 otrs www-data 9087 Jan 26 2012 Common.pm drwxrwxr-x 2 otrs www-data 4096 Aug 28 09:48 Session drwxrwxr-x 2 otrs www-data 4096 Aug 28 09:48 Test drwxrwxr-x 2 otrs www-data 4096 Aug 28 09:48 Ticket support@otrs:/opt/otrs/Kernel$ So, I’m wondering if this is something really supported (by OTRS AG). Does anyone here knows? Regards, Cyrille

Responses and Pending reminders
by Scott 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi List, We use OTRS for our day-to-day communications with our customers and have done for a number of months now. My question is as follows; Our support staff set a pending reminder to configure/cancel/change/update a setting in any number of other systems on behalf of a customer at a set point in time. They use "Pending reminders" for performing this task and for the most part, this works correctly. However, the problem lies in that if a customer emails a reply to this ticket, then the pending reminder is dropped and the ticket reverts to an "Open" status. At this point, unless carefully scrutinised on each reply, the reminder would never be actioned. I can't see a nice way around this issue other than A) Create a child ticket for pending reminders on each instance (time consuming and tedious). B) Introduce another system to create reminders in the near future using the API. C) Force the ticket to stay as pending, with the side effect that the new email won't be responded to till the pending reminder time is up. All of these options aren't really feasible to us. I suppose what needs to be done is that a pending reminder shouldn't be a ticket state but rather an alarm that triggers a state change at a fixed point in time from whatever it currently is to another state. At this point, I would take any suggestions seriously. Thanks in advance. (Apologise if this was asked before, did a google came up blank on exact requirements). I might also be looking at this wrongly. Scott

Have you experienced performance bottlenecks above some thresholds?
by Bogdan Iosif 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi, I'm evaluating OTRS's performance for a ~large scale implementation and I'm wondering if anyone ran into ~steep performance bottlenecks after hitting some threshold for a metric such as total # of tickets, db size, attachment size, etc. Please share if you did. I ask because I need to formulate a promise towards a potential customer about how long his implementation's performance will scale in terms of some metrics usable to approximate time intervals (something like: if you have 500 new tickets per month and about 30% open tickets then this implementation will very likely scale for ~3 years). Looking around the docs / Internet I keep hitting a reference for the need to switch the "backend module for the ticket index" from RuntimeDB to StaticDB when the db has ~60000 tickets or 6000 open tickets ( http://doc.otrs.org/3.1/en/html/performance-tuning.html) However there is no technical explanation for how these numbers came about. Does it depend on hardware or is it a threshold beyond which performance doesn't scale anymore regardless on how much hardware you throw at it? Another possible issue would be db size. With this one I saw no clear cut numbers but various mailing list posts led me to believe performance would scale, with adequate hardware, for dbs up to 200 GB. My case will require a relatively light workload at first (~100 tickets / day) but these will be tickets with large photo attachments so I may have to offload attachments from the database sooner than I imagine. Thanks, Bogdan

System Notification Articles
by Nick Lapp 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Is there a way to hide/not record system notification articles? It gets to be too much information to look at when viewing tickets. I know I can apply a filter to not show them on an individual agent basis but I'm looking for more of a global solution. Thanks in advance! Nick OTRS 3.1.10

Are translations supported for event based notifications?
by Bogdan Iosif 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hi, I would like to have event based notifications sent out to customers, in different languages, based on customer's interface language or some other customer level parameter. Is this possible? I looked in OTRS's changelog and found nothing about this all to way up to the current 3.2.0 beta. I've found this entry in Ideascale https://otrsteam.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Translations-of-the-event-based-notifi… this exact feature about a year ago and it leads me to believe that it's not supported. If it's not supported, does anyone know a ~hack that can achieve this? I'm thinking about setting up different event notifications triggered per customerid but the problem is that I have, let's say, 100 customers, 95 needing EN and 5 needing RO as language. I could setup duplicate notifications for those 5 needing RO and filter each one by their customerid. It's not elegant but it can be done. The problem is that I don't know how to avoid these 5 also receiving notifications targeted at the other 95, in EN. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bogdan
