A couple years ago I hacked RT to allow users to self-create upon login
as long as they have a valid entry in our enterprise LDAP server and it
contains a valid orgcode. I like it because it doesn't require any
action on my part, but still has a nice built-in set of constraints. I
wrote the code for allowing users to self-create via email, but given
the ease of spoofing, I leave it toggled off:
Set($LDAPExternalAuth, 1); # enable LDAP authentication/lookups
Set($LDAPWebExternalAuto, 1); # create user acct from LDAP at login
Set($LDAPMailExternalAuto, 0); # create user acct from LDAP at email
I included a plethora of other options, including LDAP/S connectivity,
attribute selection/mapping (below).
Has anyone used the new LDAP overlay stuff? Does it allow for this
level of granularity?
Thanks,
Tony

Set($LDAPCert, '/path/to/ldapcert');
# set these two for non-anonymous lookups
Set($LDAPBind, '');
Set($LDAPPass, '');
# use this to narrow the filter for authentication; any LDAP search filter
# placed here will be concatenated with a (uid=username) filter
# Leaving it 'undef' means default filter of (uid=username) will be used)
Set($LDAPSearchFilter,
'(&(status=active)(|(orgcode=ABC*)(lblpan=DEF)))'
);

@LDAPSearchAttrs = qw(mail cn division uid displayName telephoneNumber);
Set($LDAPMailAttr, 'mail');

Set($LDAPPhoneAttr, 'telephoneNumber');
