When I ran into this message, I think I traced it back to my mappings in the Config.pm file not being mapped to the correct fields in LDAP.  I verified each mapping and corrected my errors and all was well.

Subject: [otrs] Panic! No UserData!!!

Hello All,
 
I am new to OTRS and trying to use my own customer table from another database.
 
I have followed the doc and implemented 9.2 and 9.3. I have also changed some code in CustomerAuth/DB.pm under
Sub Auth ( ) to use a different encryption alogorithm so that the user password hashed is the same as my another database. 
When I tried to login as customer. I can see the "authentification ok " message in the System Log in the Admin menu so auth seems to be OK.
 
However, I got an error "Panic! No UserData!!!" and am now need some help on how to troubleshoot this.. Does anyone has any idea?? Appreciate much...
 
Regards,
Jackson
