tls
by Mauricio Tavares 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I am putting OTRS in the web server checking the mail server using imap (or pop if it has to) with TLS (that is a must). Can I do it from within the program? Last time I tried in OTRS (2005!) I had to use procmail or something like that to fetch the mail. Also, to send mail it will also need to do some SASL auth inside TLS.

Question regarding inbound email / ticket creation
by Jon Accornero 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I'm rather new to OTRS so forgive me if this has been answered before. I've been struggling with this the last few days. I have installed a couple of different versions of the Windows flavor of OTRS (including the latest 2.4(beta)) to evaluate it. I have yet to configure OTRS to receive inbound email. The server I'm pulling from is an IMAP with SSL. Looking at other forums, it appears that this is a problem and doesn't quite work. So I enabled POP3 in a Gmail account that I have and it appears not to work either. I set it up in postmaster account as a POP3S too. I just need to show people that this thing can pull an email in and create a ticket. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, in advance, for the help! - jon

Cannot create a ticket with an external applikation
by Stefan-Michael Guenther 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello, we are currently trying to create a ticket with an applikation which is running on the same server as OTRS, but does not belong to OTRS. Here is the script: #! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use File::Basename; use FindBin qw($RealBin); use lib dirname($RealBin); use lib dirname($RealBin) . "/Kernel/cpan-lib"; use Kernel::Config; use Kernel::System::Time; use Kernel::System::Log; use Kernel::System::Main; use Kernel::System::DB; use Kernel::System::Ticket; my $ConfigObject = Kernel::Config->new(); my $LogObject = Kernel::System::Log->new( ConfigObject => $ConfigObject, ); my $TimeObject = Kernel::System::Time->new( LogObject => $LogObject, ConfigObject => $ConfigObject, ); my $MainObject = Kernel::System::Main->new( LogObject => $LogObject, ConfigObject => $ConfigObject, ); my $DBObject = Kernel::System::DB->new( ConfigObject => $ConfigObject, MainObject => $MainObject, LogObject => $LogObject, ); my $TicketObject = Kernel::System::Ticket->new( ConfigObject => $ConfigObject, LogObject => $LogObject, DBObject => $DBObject, MainObject => $MainObject, TimeObject => $TimeObject, ); my $TicketID = $TicketObject->TicketCreate( Title => 'Some Ticket Title', Queue => 'testqueue', # or QueueID => 123, Lock => 'unlock', Priority => '3 normal', # or PriorityID => 2, State => 'new', # or StateID => 5, CustomerID => 'maxmustermann', CustomerUser => 'm.mustermann(a)in-put.de', OwnerID => 3, UserID => 3, Subject => "dies ist ein Test", Body => "und hier steht der text", ); my $TicketNumber = $TicketObject->TicketNumberLookup ( TicketID => $TicketID, UserID => 3, ); print "$TicketID\n"; print "$TicketNumber\n"; ### End ## When I start the script, I get the following output: 502 2009060810000074 Looks fine so far, but when I login into OTRS there is the hint "Need TicketID in TicketStdResponseString()" underneath "Compose Answer" and the body and subject which has been used in the script, isn't displayed either. What's wrong with that skript? Thanks for your help, Stefan

Re: [otrs] Admin Notification Error
by Gerardo Pivotto - sistemas 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Michiel: Thanks a lot for this advice, i really think that cron it was a services daemon relationed with the sendmail process. But I read ur reponse I realiced that we have migrated the mail server and change some configurations because of some DOS attacks. That was the first problem at all, the validation requeriments changed. Then Looking at the otrs configs, i discover that for the smtp configuration the sisitem needs a FDQN, so i changed the name <<mailserver>> to <<mailserver.mydomain>>. In this moment the error changed, and I decided to start testing network configurations and discovered that ubuntu server didnot resolve names(so the dns server didnot gave me and ip for the mailserver.mydomain server). I havent time to continue testing about this problem, but as you help me(or try to help me, thats because mi problem it was not OTRS), i believed that you deserve my reply. Thanks for your time, I found very powerfull this mailling list so I will try to improve my skills so ask for interesting things and help others to solve them problems. See you next time.

Problems with ODBC and Ms SQL
by Stefan-Michael Guenther 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hello, are there any members on this mailing list who store the OTRS agents in a MS SQL database? We have used different OTRS installations on Debian, SuSE, Redhat and Ubuntu but always get the same login error message which obviously has something to do with the DBD::ODBC module. It would be helpful if we could get the version numbers MS SQL, DBD::ODBC and OTRS of such a successful installation. Thanks in advance, Stefan-Michael Günther -- ******************************************** in-put GbR - Das Linux-Systemhaus Stefan-Michael Guenther Geschaeftsfuehrer Moltkestrasse 49 D-76133 Karlsruhe Tel./Fax : +49 (0)721 / 83044 - 98/93 http://www.in-put.de ******************************************** Schulungen Installationen Beratung Support Voice-over-IP-Loesungen ********************************************
