Re: [otrs] OTRS on linux vs windows

We're running OTRS on Linux with full AD integration including single sign-on, automatic agent creation/removal from AD, full customer integration with AD - so no customer or agent maintenance. It was a bit fiddly to get set up, but once working it's been very reliable. Happy to share our agent creation/removal script, and any other information people want. -- Steve Durbin Group Manager: Applications Delivery/Cyfarwyddwr Grŵp: Trosglwyddo Rhaglenni Bridgend County Borough Council/Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-Bont ar Ogwr Tel/Rhif ffon: 01656 642113 Mob/ffon symudol: 07976 271559 Fax/Ffacs: 01656 642125 Web/We: http://www.bridgend.gov.uk E-mail may be automatically logged, monitored and/or recorded for legal purposes.

I'm happy to read that someone did make a full AD integration. I tried to do this for agents but I had difficult in handle group privileges. Can someone give me some hints on how to handle group privileges with AD integration?

Hi Steve, I'd very much like to hear more of this. I guess it's a combination of Apache and OTRS configuration as well as that script you mention, right? I've been picking up info about this here and there the last year or so, but have never gotten around to actually implement anything, and am very interested on working examples. :-) -- /Sune T. -----Original Message----- From: otrs-bounces@otrs.org [mailto:otrs-bounces@otrs.org] On Behalf Of Lucarelli Roberto Sent: 4. februar 2011 08:50 To: User questions and discussions about OTRS.

http://wiki.otrs.org/index.php?title=English_Area (check the first 2 Howtos link). http://doc.otrs.org/3.0/en/html/customer-user-backend.html#customer-backend-... http://doc.otrs.org/3.0/en/html/customer-user-backend.html#customer-backend-...Keep in mind the difference between the listing of customers/users (who's allowed) and authentication (are you "you"/passwords). LDAP connectivity is a protocol and communication issue, not having to do with the OS that makes the connection, or the OS holds the server. Linux connections to Exchange happen all the time. The same code in Config.pm works for Windows as well as Linux, as long as the perl LDAP module is installed. Information retrieved from third parties (other DB, LDAP) does *not* sync to OTRS DB. It is queried. AuthSync for Users (agents) is not demographic information, it's only about reducing authentication requests to the LDAP server. Hope this helps! -- Gerald Young

Steve,
Did anyone actually get your setup info? I am again interested. We are
looking at the OTRS 3.1 upgrade on windows and wondering about just
migrating instead, but would like to see what you have working.
Thanks.
