Integrating with Active Directory

15 May 2007

      I'm new to OTRS and would like to have our customer list in OTRS pull data from our Active Directory setup.  I'm running OTRS 2.1 and have a Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 server running Active Directory.  When I do a search for customers I never get any results.  I have used the ldp.exe utility with Windows to verify that I can access the LDAP tree using the username/password below.

Any guidance or examples would help.  I'm definitely not a LDAP or OTRS expert :(

Here is what I have added to my Config.pm:

    # CustomerUser
    # (customer user ldap backend and settings)
    $Self->{CustomerUser} = {
        Name => 'LDAP FNB',
        Module => 'Kernel::System::CustomerUser::LDAP',
        Params => {
            # ldap host
            Host => '192.168.1.2',
            # ldap base dn
            BaseDN => 'DC=amaru,DC=local',
            # search scope (one|sub)
            SSCOPE => 'sub',
#            # The following is valid but would only be necessary if the
#            # anonymous user does NOT have permission to read from the LDAP tree
            UserDN => 'CN=otrs otrs,OU=Information Technology,OU=Full Access,OU=test-users,DC=amaru,DC=local',
            UserPw => 'tickets',
            # in case you want to add always one filter to each ldap query, use
            # this option. e. g. AlwaysFilter => '(mail=*)' or AlwaysFilter => '(objectclass=user)'
            AlwaysFilter => '',
            # if your frontend is e. g. iso-8859-1 and the charset of your
            # ldap server is utf-8, use this options (if not, ignore it)
#            SourceCharset => 'utf-8',
#            DestCharset => 'iso-8859-1',
            # Net::LDAP new params (if needed - for more info see perldoc Net::LDAP)
            Params => {
                port => 389,
                timeout => 120,
                async => 0,
                version => 3,
            },
        },
        # customer uniq id
        CustomerKey => 'uid',
        # customer #
        CustomerID => 'mail',
        CustomerUserListFields => ['cn', 'mail'],
        CustomerUserSearchFields => ['uid', 'cn', 'mail'],
        CustomerUserSearchPrefix => '',
        CustomerUserSearchSuffix => '*',
        CustomerUserSearchListLimit => 250,
        CustomerUserPostMasterSearchFields => ['mail'],
        CustomerUserNameFields => ['givenname', 'sn'],
        # show now own tickets in customer panel, CompanyTickets
        CustomerUserExcludePrimaryCustomerID => 0,
        # add a ldap filter for valid users (expert setting)
#       CustomerUserValidFilter => '(!(description=gesperrt))',
        # admin can't change customer preferences
        AdminSetPreferences => 0,
        Map => [
            # note: Login, Email and CustomerID needed!
            # var, frontend, storage, shown (1=always,2=lite), required, storage-type, http-link, readonly
            [ 'UserSalutation', 'Title',      'title',           1, 0, 'var', '', 0 ],
            [ 'UserFirstname',  'Firstname',  'givenname',       1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],
            [ 'UserLastname',   'Lastname',   'sn',              1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],
            [ 'UserLogin',      'Username',   'uid',             1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],
            [ 'UserEmail',      'Email',      'mail',            1, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],
            [ 'UserCustomerID', 'CustomerID', 'mail',            0, 1, 'var', '', 0 ],

        ],
    };
