Ok, this makes sense.
For agents or customers you can choose the authentification backend (DB, LDAP or whathever)
For instance :
- DB for agents and DB for customers - DB for agents and LDAP for customers - LDAP for agents and DB for customers - LDAP for agents and LDAP for customers
The manual only describes how to set up LDAP for customers, it makes no mention how to set LDAP up for agents. :(
Is setting up LDAP for agents the same as setting up for customers but with a different variable for $Self->{CustomerUser}? How does this work?
Just read the Config/Default.pm to see how you can use LDAP for agent authentification. The first interesting line is : $Self->{'AuthModule'} = 'Kernel::System::Auth::LDAP';
Before switching to LDAP you can create an agent account (which is yet
in the LDAP backend) in the DB backend with the admin rights (add it in the admin group for instance). After switching use this account for OTRS administration.
Am I correct in understanding that for agents, you need to create the admin in the database, and then use LDAP just for authentication only?
For agents, LDAP is just for authentification. Agents groups, roles and rights (ACL) are in the OTRS database (independant from the authentification backend) For customers, you can use LDAP either for authentication or for getting customer informations (phone, address, ...), or both. Is it possible to create more admin users after switching LDAP on for
agents?
No problem Regards,
