RT-Extension-LDAPImport

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

This will install an rtldapimport script and the RT::Extension::LDAPImport
module.

There are several config variables which must be set in
your RT_SiteConfig file

Hostname or ldap(s):// uri
 Set($LDAPHost,'our.ldap.host');

Your LDAP username
Leaving this unset will cause us to use an anonymous bind
 Set($LDAPUser, 'user cn');

Your LDAP Password
 Set($LDAPPassword, 'ldap pass');

Where to search
 Set($LDAPBase, 'ou=People,o=Our Place');

The search filter to apply (in this case, find all the bobs)
 Set($LDAPFilter, '(&(cn = bob*))');

A mapping of 
Attribute in LDAP => Attribute in RT
 Set($LDAPMapping, {uid  => 'Name',
                    mail => 'EmailAddress',
                    cn   => 'RealName',
                    telephoneNumber => 'WorkPhone',
                    departmentName => 'Organization'});

RUNNING THE IMPORT

If RT is not installed in /opt/rt3, you will need to change the 
use lib '/opt/rt3/lib';
line in rtldapimport to point to the directory where RT.pm can be found

executing rtldapimport will run the import
It is recommended that you make a database backup before doing so

rtldapimport can be run with a --debug flag that will make it 
print a lot of information to the screen.

That debug information is also sent to the RT log with the debug level.
Errors are logged to the screen and to the RT log
