Hi all,

The configuration from Ed is only for the Customer authentication (= users submitting questions to otrs)
As Nils correctly stated, there are 2 types of "users":
- users --> otrs agents, service desk agents
- customers --> users submitting incidents.

In the LDAP configuration, there are 2 sections:
- $Self->{'AuthModule'} + suffixes: configures the user authentication
- $Self->{'Customer::AuthModule'} + suffixes: configures the customer authentication

And bear in mind that the UID parameter references the user which will be used to logon to otrs.

For the rest, the documentation (pdf version 2.2)is not 100% correct and clear....
I used the .../Kernel/Config/Default.pm file to look up the correct parameters. (well explained).

What you configure in .../Kernel/Config.pm will overwrite the default/standard settings in ../Kernel/Config/Default.pm

Happy doc browsing .. :)

It wasn't easy for me either. A few things I learned (as a newbie):

There are both users and customers. You need to enable LDAP lookups for each one separately.

It's more accurate to say there are two kinds of users: agents and customers.

Nils.
