OTRS + CRM Implementation
by Chris Watt 26 May '25

26 May '25

I have been googling this for hours and it seems to have been mentioned on here but no one has ever given anything. What I want to do is link OTRS with a CRM program like SugarCRM (or similar). Has anyone done this before/know how to do it? Basically I want the tickets to be copied into SugarCRM automatically, with all approriate fields, and customers to be stored in the same location. I read somewhere that one guy had done it but he provided no further info. Cany anyone help? Cheers ~Chris

Agent Ticket Forward - Attachments
by Kristofer Pettijohn 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

When viewing an article and clicking "Forward" I noticed that attachments are not included. Is this by design, a bug, or is there an option to include the original attachments some how? It seems as though inline attachments are kept, but not others. I checked the AgentTicketForward SysConfig options, but do not see any settings for choosing whether or not attachments can be included. Thanks, Kris

Reading Ticket Number from Email Body
by Parag Bhalerao 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Hello, I have a customer who sends ticket number in email body in pre-defined format. I see that OTRS can read ticket numbers form email body (ref: http://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/6.0/en/html/ConfigReference_Section_Co…) but I am not sure where I can specify format of the ticket number. The format of ticket number in email body is {CMI: MCID089682} · Will it always be enclosed in pair of {} · Will it always start with CMI: · Will ticket number always be MCID followed by exactly 6 digits Appreciate your help. GoodWills Parag Bhalerao

Another painful LDAPS problem
by Evan Spangler 01 Jul '17

01 Jul '17

Hi all, I've been trying to set up a LDAPS backend for customer auth, but haven't had much luck. I had a working setup with our old domain using plaintext ldap, but new requirements are forcing us to go with LDAPS. The customer list in the Customer Admin section populates correctly, but trying to log in results in "OTRS-CGI-10[1239]: [Error][Kernel::System::User::UserLookup][Line:922]: No UserID found for 'Test.User'!" Running "openssl s_client -connect" results in success but does throw this warning "Verify return code: 21 (unable to verify the first certificate)". All certs are selfsigned, and AD is run on a Win2012 DC. Agents are using the local database. I've tried the Config.pm parameters a few different ways (including versions from OTRS 3 and 4 documentation) with the same results. I've repeated the ldaps://:port in the host directive and in net:ldap parameters, but have tried both independently with the same results. I'm on OTRS 5.0.7 installed via the built-in Ubuntu repositories. I can also install manually if you guys think that might help. $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule'} = 'Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::LDAP'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::Host'} = 'ldaps://domaincontroller.fqdn.com:636'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::BaseDN'} = 'dc=xxxx,dc=com'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UID'} = 'sAMAccountName'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UserAttr'} = 'DN'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::SearchUserDN'} = 'service_acct(a)domain.com'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::SearchUserPw'} = 'xxx'; '(objectclass=user)' $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::AlwaysFilter'} = '(objectclass=user)'; $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UserSuffix'} = '@domain.com'; # Net::LDAP new params (if needed - for more info see perldoc Net::LDAP) $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::Params'} = { port => 636, timeout => 120, async => 0, version => 3, scheme => 'ldaps', onerror => 'warn', verify => 'none', scope => 'subtree', }; # CustomerUser # (customer ldap backend and settings) $Self->{CustomerUser} = { Name => 'LDAP Data Source', Module => 'Kernel::System::CustomerUser::LDAP', Params => { # ldap host Host => 'ldaps://domaincontroller.fqdn.com:636', # ldap base dn BaseDN => 'dc=xxxx,dc=com', # search scope (one|sub) SSCOPE => 'sub', # The following is valid but would only be necessary if the # anonymous user does NOT have permission to read from the LDAP tree UserDN => 'service_acct(a)domain.com', UserPw => 'xxx', # in case you want to add always one filter to each ldap query, use # this option. e. g.

Upgrade 4.0.13 to 5.0.20 - web UI still "v4"
by Jeff Johnson 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Greetings, I performed an upgrade on a functional 4.0.13 OTRS system (Linux, MySQL, RHEL6.7) to OTRS v5.0.20. I followed the upgrade process in the OTRS v5 HTML manual. The upgrade appears to have worked but the Agent UI in the browser is still the "OTRS 4 Free" theme. I'm assuming I'd see a v5 default UI. The reason for the upgrade was to get a responsive UI for agents using mobile devices like iPhones. Did I miss a critical step? I'm not sure where this is set. Maybe it's a v4 config file from my running system that needs editing to enable the v5 default UI? Thanks for any suggestions! --Jeff

Replies only include e-mail address instead of "name <e-mail>"
by Sebastian Wain 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi, I just realized that if a customer initiate a ticket via OTRS the auto-reply goes correctly to "name <e-mail>" but subsequent replies only identifies the user as "e-mail". So, if John Smith <john.smith(a)js.org> sends a new inquiry, the autoreply goes to John Smith <john.smith(a)js.org> but the next replies go to [ john.smith(a)js.org ]( mailto:john.smith@js.org ) The original e-mail only includes the "From:" header. I don't know if we need to include additional ones like "Sender:" or there is another way to solve this. We are using OTRS 5s. Thanks, Sebastian

Re: [otrs] dynamic field check box visibility
by Peter Sabbe 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Maybe another way to look at it is to include the check box in a process and have the generic agent start the process only when it is applicable (and remove the process when no longer so), that is when your other dynamic field has or has not the valid group name. Cheers Peter
