SLA 'pause" time
by Nikolay Lilov 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Hello everybody, I'm using OTRS 2.4.5 and everything works fine. I just need to pause the time in a SLA when a ticket is not on our side and when the ticket is back to continue counting the time. If it's not possible, please give some ideas. Thank you very much! Best wishes

Delete attachments from the admin menu error
by Dennis Feijen 07 Feb '10

07 Feb '10

Hello all, We've installed OTRS 2.4.6 on Fedora and works fine, but after a while I added some attachement via the admin menu and assigned it to the default empty answer. But now if I want to delete this attachement, I got the following error: Error: Invalid Challenge Token! Comment: Bug Report: Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.10.0 OS: linux Time: Thu Feb 4 17:13:22 2010 Message: Invalid Challenge Token!

Any help is welcome! -- Met vriendelijke groet/kind regards, Dennis Feijen

Dashboard: how to add phone-ticket to menu bar?
by Chris Kurtz 06 Feb '10

06 Feb '10

Centos 5.3, Apache 2, OTRS 2.4.5 Everyone who uses OTRS is both an agent and a customer, and we all login to the agent interface. When users initially login and see the dashboard, they get the standard dashboard buttons (logout, dashboard, ticket, preferences etc) but nothing to the right of the dividing line. If they hit "ticket" they see the QueueView and four new buttons appear to the right of the dashboard buttons - "QueueView, Phone-Ticket, Email-Ticket, Search" Users really really want to see those ticket shortcuts (Phone-Ticket, particularly) when they are viewing the dashboard. Is this a CSS change, or is there some config option? ...Chris -- Chris Kurtz, chk(a)mars.asu.edu Systems Manager Mars Space Flight Facility Arizona State University

Re: [otrs] AD Synch
by Sune T. Tougaard 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

If this by any chance is for the customer part (it's a big install if you have 3000 agents, I think), perhaps the following may be helpful. By "No user data" it could mean that some info that is required in the OTRS DB is not available in the AD/LDAP lookup. So one thing to check, I guess, would be if the AD is populated with the needed data. In my setup I think that the only parts "required" for the customer part are Login, Email and CustomerID. In my Customer Authentication part of the config, I have those fields mapped as follows: # 'var', 'frontend', 'storage', shown, required, 'storage-type' [ 'UserLogin', 'Login', 'sAMAccountName', 1, 1, 'var' ], [ 'UserEmail', 'Email', 'mail', 1, 1, 'var' ], [ 'UserCustomerID', 'CustomerID', 'mail', 0, 1, 'var' ], So, in my AD, if I have empty "sAMAccountName" or "mail" fields, I would get the "No user data" error when logging in. Also, I believe that the UID must be set to "sAMAccountName", the default is UPN as far as I recall. Your otrs log may give your hints to what may be missing or going wrong. Perhaps you could show us the authen part of your config, that could help. It's been a while since I was last deep in otrs, so I may be using an older version. Dunno if all this applies to yours. I may also be totally off track, it was setup years ago. -- /Sune T. From: otrs-bounces(a)otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of David Holder Sent: 05 February 2010 00:16 To: User questions and discussions about OTRS. Subject: Re: [otrs] AD Synch Hi Troy, AFAIK agents are authenticated against OTRS's database, but the information for those accounts is first probed in the LDAP directory. If you're getting a "panic no user data!" when logging in as a agent, the information isn't being synced to OTRS's database. Have you implemented the following code: # agent data sync against ldap $Self->{'AuthSyncModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Auth::Sync::LDAP'; $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::Host <LDAP::Host> '} = 'ldap://ldap.example.com/ <ldap://ldap.example.com/> '; $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::BaseDN <LDAP::BaseDN> '} = 'dc=otrs, dc=org'; $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::UID <LDAP::UID> '} = 'uid'; $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::SearchUserDN <LDAP::SearchUserDN> '} = 'uid=sys, ou=user, dc=otrs, dc=org'; $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::SearchUserPw <LDAP::SearchUserPw> '} = 'some_pass'; $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::UserSyncMap <LDAP::UserSyncMap> '} = { # DB -> LDAP UserFirstname => 'givenName', UserLastname => 'sn', UserEmail => 'mail', }; [...] # AuthSyncModule::LDAP::UserSyncInitialGroups <LDAP::UserSyncInitialGroups> # (sync following group with rw permission after initial create of first agent # login) $Self->{'AuthSyncModule::LDAP::UserSyncInitialGroups <LDAP::UserSyncInitialGroups> '} = [ 'users', ]; If you haven't implemented the above, do so and let us know how you get on. If you get compeltely stuck I can send you a blank config from my current OTRS setup, which I have e-mailed to several people already to help them resolve their AD sync/access issues. Regards, David Troy Shafer wrote: I have searched and searched but can't seem to find the answer. So i setup the Config.pm to use AD authentication.. then of course i got the Panic! No user data! error. We have over 3,000 employees. I'm not going to sit here and create an account for each of them. I do have it searching AD successfully and autheniticating against AD. I've seen examples of user synchronization on the web and everytime i try those code in the config file and restart apache i can't login to otrs with an AD account or root@localhost. Essentially i'm looking for the code that will allow authentication against AD without the user needing to be in the otrs db... or.. When authenticated against AD the user is automatically created in the OTRS DB.. or some variation that doesn't need me to create 3000 accounts by hand. -Troy _____ --------------------------------------------------------------------- OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ <http://otrs.org/> Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs <http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs> To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs <http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs> NEW!

Create new ticket after the first response
by Hirantha Wijaywardena 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

I am very new to OTRS but running the system successfully. Sorry if this question answered but I couldn't find anything; my bad. I would like to generate/create the ticket once agent's first response to the inquiry. The reason because, our supporting levels are 2 & 3. We do not need to answer and create a ticket for every inquiry emailed by the customer to our support email address, unless it is genuine level 2 or level 3 issue. Right now every incoming mails to the support email will create a ticket. Sometimes customers are Cc: to the support email (which are not issue related) and it will generate tickets. Would it be possible to get this done? Please advice. Regards Hirantha

Hi. We changed "runtime" the ticket numbering this way: $Self->{'Ticket::NumberGenerator'} = 'Kernel::System::Ticket::Number::AutoIncrement'; without any problem.

Change of Ticket Number...
by Doug Hall 05 Feb '10

Hi. At present, the ticket number is "2010020510000226" for example.. Now if I change it to something more simple like "00000321" will the OTRS system still hook and match the old open tickets with the longer number??

Re: [otrs] Next and previous item : ala Outlook
by Martignier, Philippe 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

James, I understand what you say. But here we can make it easy by saying it should respect what is in the queueview (so the ticket displayed in the page where they do the click or zoom ). Coming from the development (cobol, turbo pascal, access and co) I can totally understand that it is not an so easy programmation to do. Here it will say : - save the current list (and the next pages if any) with no ticket and status - go to ticket view when a click is done - display the down button only if you are on the first event in the list - display only the previous button if you are on the last event in the list - go to request ticket and display a message if the status has changed from what is in the list ... Then the annoying questions .. what to do when agents come from the dashboard ... and so on (in my opinion the next and previous should be activated only from coming from the queue view) But it can always be done ... just a matter of priority :) And I think that these kind of requests are totally "honest" in the point of view of users who are used to treat lot of emails in outlook and now lot of tickets via OTRS. IT People don't work the whole day by treating tickets (including myself :) so there are things that users asked that are really important to simplify the OTRS use ... Am I the only one to have this request from agents??? bye Philippe Martignier Communications Division Customer Service Section Email : Philippe.Martignier(a)wipo.int Phone : 00 41 022 338 72 36 Building : GB II Office : 0,3 -----Original Message----- From: otrs-bounces(a)otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of otrs-request(a)otrs.org Sent: mercredi, 3. février 2010 23:48 To: otrs(a)otrs.org Subject: otrs Digest, Vol 17, Issue 20 Send otrs mailing list submissions to otrs(a)otrs.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to otrs-request(a)otrs.org You can reach the person managing the list at otrs-owner(a)otrs.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of otrs digest..."
