Integration OTRS + AD to create users
Hello,
I wonder if anyone has done this kind of integration between OTRS and AD so that through data filled in OTRS users are created with the proper permissions in AD? Or through WebService with PowerShell to run scripts that can get objects from DynamicFields?
Today I am using OTRS in version 6.0.19 with MySQL database.

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
Hi,
I recommend using Powershell and request the data to create new users from OTRS via the GenericInterface. Should be the approach with least amount of work.

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
Hi,
Actually I need to create these users in AD. I need to get DynamicFields values and send them to AD for user creation.

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
Hi,
- Create a process ticket with needed data in dynamic fields
- Import the GenericInterfacREST webservice (https://github.com/OTRS/otrs/blob/rel-6 ... orREST.yml)
- Write a Powershell script to find all open tickets in the appropriate activity
- Create the user with Powershell
- Update the ticket with the proper attributes, a note, etc.

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
Just a thought: if you have an external (Active Directory) back end, you don't need to "create" users (customers?) and you can map AD Attributes to CustomerUser fields. It works rather seemlessly, almost by default.
CustomerGroupsAlwaysGroups is another hint.
It's pretty slick with Apache SSO, too.

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
So in this case I am trying to automate the process of creating users in AD through OTRS, so the Analyst doesn't have to go to AD to create them. Because this is a very recurring demand in the company where I work, and sometimes is causing bottlenecks. Therefore, I would like OTRS to take the user information entered in DynamicFields and automatically register users with their information, either through WebService, PowerShell, etc. Is this kind of interaction possible?

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
Hello Everybody,
I would be interested in that too.
Also thinking about a selve service on the customer page or during ticket creation on the Agent frontend.
Also for Users who leave the Company, I would like to have the same for deleting/archiving Users.
Greatings
OK

You ... want OTRS to be the master user source for building Active Directory users?tallesleonardo wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 21:47 So in this case I am trying to automate the process of creating users in AD through OTRS, so the Analyst doesn't have to go to AD to create them.

There's no built-in provision for that, and leads to some security concerns, too.
It's near trivial to go the other way, though. And by populating AD, OTRS automatically gets the user information.
And if you must build it, you're halfway to data entry directly into AD anyway. The PowerShell interface that puts the data into AD can be fed to OTRS at the same time if you wish... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powers ... w=win10-ps

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
In fact, I have created a process that automates ticketing based on the number of users listed to be created in AD. My real need is to take the filled values in the dynamic fields (Name, ID, Phone, etc.) and send this information automatically to AD upon user creation.crythias wrote: ↑30 Jul 2019, 07:36 And if you must build it, you're halfway to data entry directly into AD anyway.

Hi,
Never heard of "sending information to AD". Please specify how the data should be transferred from OTRS.

Re: Integration OTRS + AD to create users
And I'm saying the same human interface that fills in OTRS to do this should be able to fill in AD, which OTRS can use.tallesleonardo wrote: ↑30 Jul 2019, 16:14In fact, I have created a process that automates ticketing based on the number of users listed to be created in AD.
