Hello Hans, You re not missing anything the verbiage has change since old PF version but the mechanism stayed the same.
You might have a button in the past that allowed you to add more time for the Unregistration date. It’s not the case anymore. You will need to specify the unregipstratin date and time manually. Status -> registered Role -> Chosen role Unregistration -> now + 3 hours Thanks, Ludovic Zammit Product Support Engineer Principal Lead Cell: +1.613.670.8432 Akamai Technologies - Inverse 145 Broadway Cambridge, MA 02142 Connect with Us: <https://community.akamai.com/> <http://blogs.akamai.com/> <https://twitter.com/akamai> <http://www.facebook.com/AkamaiTechnologies> <http://www.linkedin.com/company/akamai-technologies> <http://www.youtube.com/user/akamaitechnologies?feature=results_main> > On Nov 2, 2022, at 2:00 AM, Hans Johnson via PacketFence-users > <packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > Hi All, > > So after losing our old PF server a while back, I’ve finally gotten around to > getting it back up and running.
