Hi Ludovic,

Let me kindly explain the scenario here.......

The PF server's internal IP is *172.31.2.89* and resolves internally
to *self-service.dangote-group.com
<http://self-service.dangote-group.com>*.

We needed Sponsors to be able to approve guest requests over the internet
without the need for VPN, so a public DNS mapping was done for the same
name to *80.88.10.20* to make that happen.

The hostname of PF server is;

There is no special configuration for web authentication re-direct as the
default setup for the captive portal is being used.

This is the switch config;

Should I change the IP information for the registration URL to the public
IP?
