Username at RT login not matching Ticket sent via e-mail

Hello All,

As users send tickets via e-mail their tickets are Requester set to
username [at] email but at login they are username and as username cannot see
their e-mailed tickets within the RT website. Is there a way to set it so
logging in users can see their e-mailed tickets? A scrip or config? I just was
moved to running our RT so I'm still fishing through the config's and setup.

Thanks,

Jorge

Do their usernames have the proper email address? Or do you end up with
2 accounts per person? If the account a user logs in with is not the
same as the account created when the email is sent in, then the user
won't be able to see the tickets from the other account because you will
have essentially two accounts.

Well users login with username and the ticket is sent in via e-mail as
username [at] email so yes there's two accounts.

Does RT allow for users to login via username [at] email? Or is there a scrip to
alter the tickets to set it to username instead of username [at] email as
requester when tickets are created? Or force users to login as
username [at] email?

I'm still fishing through the doc's and learning RT so don't quite know where
the tweaking can take place for this. Any guide or pointing to guides if anyone
can.

Thanks,

Jorge

In RT 3.6.0 it doesn't seem to create 2 accounts for this.

Thank you,

Re: Username at RT login not matching Ticket sent via e-mail [In reply to]

The fact that you have two accounts is the problem. An account can have
a username and an email address so they can log in as 'bob' but have an
email address of bob [at] organization

I'm not sure how you'd fix this problem other than consolidating down to
one account per person. There isn't a way that I'm aware of to say
"these 2 users are really the same person."

Try RT::Extension::MergeUsers (unless that has been merged into 3.8?)
from CPAN.
