thanks Maurice but this doesn't seem to work.
 
When trying to login (authenticating via ldap) in customer.pl I get the following message:
 
 "Login failed! Your username or password was entered incorrectly"
 
And then the following otrs log event:
 
[Thu Nov 23 13:06:23 2006][Error][Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::LDAP::Auth][141] Search failed! Bad filter 
 
strange thing is that I can create call for a user using my admin login (which authenticates via DB rather than LDAP) just fine, but the ldap query if I search for a customer works fine. It just won't let a customer login via the customer.pl page.
 
Any ideas? I seem to be in a rut until I can get this working.
 
Thanks
 
Am I right in thinking that when a customer logs in that his network, or AD username and password should be accepted as it should authenticate via LDAP?

You have to manually add the customer to the database for this to work. If you try to add them to the database using the web console it will tell you that the username already exists.

I am just testing OTRS version 2.1.2 on windows as a possible replacement for our own ticket system.

 

I have got a lot of things working that I require, including the ldap customer authentication, I can query ad to pull back data and also log a call via the admin page (create mail or call ticket etc).

 

However when a customer tries to log in to check on their tickets, it down not accept their username/password.

 

I assume the username and password should be domain login and password that the user uses to connect to the network.

 

I am fairly new to this so sorry if this is a stoopid question, but any ideas why the front-end customer login doesn't work but the other part (querying ldap ) does.

 

Cheers people!!

 

Please lt me know if you want to see a copy of the config.pl or anything

 

Thanks
