RE: [otrs] Perl LDAP error

20 May 2005

      Has anyone seen this before at all?  As it seems to reference the
CustomerUser portion of the LDAP configuration - is that the part used for
customer authentication at the customer login page?  As we are not using the
customer login portion, can I simply comment out that portion of the config?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!  Anxiously awaiting OTRS
2.0!

Subject: [otrs] Perl LDAP error

When performing some actions (I can't reproduce this error on demand) I get
the following error:

Software error:

Can't locate object method "new" via package
"Kernel::System::CustomerUser::LDAP" at
/opt/otrs//Kernel/System/CustomerUser.pm line 53.

For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([no address given]
mailto:%5Bno%20address%20given%5D ), giving this error message and the
time and date of the error. 

I just transfered the configuration changes listed from my sandbox system
(1.3.2) to my production system (1.3.1 - Suse 9.1) by copying and pasting
the config below.  All LDAP functionality works fine and if you get the
error a simple "refresh" or "reload" lets the action complete.  Line 53 is
marked in the code below...Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
