This was the permissions command I used: bin/otrs.SetPermissions.pl --otrs-user=otrs --otrs-group=apache --web-user=apache --web-group=apache /opt/otrs Does this seem correct? Should the --web-user be otrs? Also I just ran usermod -G apache otrs less /etc/group ... apache:x:48:otrs ...

Double follow up notifications because Agent is in CC of Auto follow up
by Erik van Ast 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hi everyone, We have been using OTRS many years ago on an OpenSUSE system, but we have it installed on a Windows Server now. I created a new database, so everything is new without any imported history. Everything seems to work fine, but I have 1 annoying problem. When an agent replies to a notification (for a new ticket for example) and the server imports the email into the ticket, the customer gets an auto follow up like I want, but the agent also gets that email because the agent is in CC. This is something I’d rather not have, because the agent already gets an Agent Notification, so the agent now gets 2 messages. This doesn’t happen when a customer replies, in that case the agent only receives the Agent notification (Agent::FollowUp)… Can someone tell me if it’s possible to remove the Agent from the CC of the Auto response (Auto follow up)? Kind regards, Erik Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards / Mit freundlichem Gruß, _______________________________________________________________ [http://eu.suzohapp.com/img/logo/mail_suzo_small.gif] Erik van Ast SUZO-HAPP GROUP | Systems Administrator Office: +31-(0)186-643333 | Fax: +31-(0)186-643377 Erik.van.Ast(a)suzohapp.nl | www.suzohapp.nl NL

OTRS querys to AD taken as DoS by Antivirus (Trend Micro)
by Alvaro Cordero 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hello, We have an installation of OTRS 3.1 with KIX4OTRS lastest for the version running on CentOS 5.9, mysql and apache, using LDAP Auth on Windows AD 2008. Few months ago we started to see intermitent connection problemas to AD Server, eventually it was narrowed down to when a normal search or a custom report was run. System logs only showed that there was no connection with AD Server and with no reason after a while connection was regained. Finally we found out that the antivirus was detecting our connection attempts to AD Server as DoS and it was blocking our OTRS. What we see is that everytime a ticket is looked for or a search is run, the system sends hundreds of requests to the AD Server, especially when querying customer info. We have seen this happening in all other systems with AD, but this is the first time it gets blocked. Antivirus was Trend Micro and after stoping the antivirus the issue stopped. We have other instances running on different environments and haven't seen this behaviour anywhere else. So we are wondering if this could have been that the antivirus parameters were to sensitive or if our instance was sending more requests thant expected by the AD Server. Has anyone seen this kind of issue. -- ___________________________ Alvaro Cordero Retana Consultor de Tecnologias Gridshield Monitoreo de Redes e Infraestructura. 2258-5757 ext 123 alvaro(a)gridshield.net www.gridshield.net

Groups for customers.
by Mimiko 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hello. I created multiple queues with a group for each. I enabled customers group and specified the customers to be in all groups for queues. If I create another queue with a group, then customers will not have access to this queue until I add each customer to the new group. I know I can add this new group to the autoconfiguration, but if there is much more groups? How to allow all customers automatically access to all groups and therefore to queues without reconfiguring accesses? Disabling customer's group support denies access to any queue for customers. -- Mimiko desu.
