Either side of this coin can be seen. Invalid users means I can't create a ticket with that user. Probably I might also have trouble searching for that user's tickets (I know this is a bit of a problem with Generic Agent and changing agents on a ticket from invalid agents.) But I can also see that as long as I have an email that matches a user, invalid or not, I'd rather the information match than not. There's no particular (default) reason an inbound email is not going to create a ticket *generally* in any case, but I can be sure an invalid user won't be able to web into the customer portal.

Sure, this is a possible solution.

But I can’t understand why the invalidated customer user continues to be

used by the OTRS system. If an user is invalidated, I expect it to be used only on

old tickets (tickets created when that user was valid).

it will match email. So change the email address in db users.

Hi,

we have an OTRS 3.3.7 installation with 2 customer user backends (DB and LDAP).

Some users are duplicated on both backends, with different customer ID assigned

on each backend.

If a mail from a duplicated user enters the system, we want to configure OTRS to

use the LDAP backend (so the ticket get the right CustomerID)

So I simply configured the duplicated DB users as “invalid”.

The problem is that, If a duplicated user sends an email to the OTRS system,

OTRS continues to attach that mail to the invalid customer user (I can see it because

the DB customer ID is different from the LDAP one) even if the user is marked

as “invalid”.

I tried to change the order of the Customer User backends in the config file also

using the numbering:

$Self->{CustomerUser1} = {

Name => 'LDAP Datasource',

$Self->{CustomerUser2} = {

Name => 'Customer Database',

But OTRS continues to do the wrong thing.

What do you suggest? Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,

Alessandro Cortiana
