Ok. cool. One more thing, the backend for retrieving users/groups/queues is fixed to DB or is customizable.
Example: I have already my users/groups in LDAP. Can I do authentification and authorization using LDAP, without the need of adding users to DB?
Atif "The LDAP Guy" Ghaffar! ,-) The users/groups/queues design is fixed to DB. Because the database_user_id (also database_group_id and database_queue_id) is used as reference for owner, ... and in some big selects (one select is faster then 2 or more). Solution: * It's easy to add LDAP support for the OpenTRS authentication (Kernel/System/Auth.pm). * How about a sync-script (e. g. ldap2db.pl) to sync the OpenTRS user table with LDAP (e. g. via cron). It would be much work to split users/groups/queues from the database. Maybe a feature for a new major release?!
