Hello, the PacketFence (not Packet Force) template for the Huawei AC6605 controller does not support Web authentication, only 802.1x and MAC auth, as you can see in the table here http://www.packetfence.org/about/supported_switches_and_aps.html

However, after accessing the user authentication process on the webpage, the user cannot find the authorized VLAN DHCP assigned IP address. The client still obtains the registered VLAN DHCP assigned IP address after issuing the commands ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew; The packfence system audit log shows that the client is not registered, and clicking on the web interface again also proves that the process cannot obtain authorization for Vlan to allocate DHCP IP However, after disabling the computer client and then enabling the wireless network card to obtain authorization for VLAN to allocate DHCP IP, the system displays that the user registration was successful; Turn off and then enable WLAN on the mobile end to obtain authorized VLAN IP allocation The system audit log shows that the client registration was successful. ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "packetfence-users" <packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net> >; Date: Fri, Mar 7, 2025 03:42 PM To: "packetfence-users"<packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net> >; Cc: "Christos Ntokos"<nto...@uoi.gr <mailto:nto...@uoi.gr> >; Subject: [PacketFence-users] Web auth for WLAN guests with email/SMS authentication on Huawei WAC Hello, I am currently testing Packetfence to provide WiFi access to guests using capture portal/web auth. The authentication method would be a PIN via email or SMS. Our equipment is a Huawei AirEngine 9700-M Wireless Access Controller working with Huawei APs in tunnel mode. The Huawei WAC does the VLAN assignment for the guest SSID (no dynamic VLAN assignment needed) and also provides the DHCP service to clients. I see that in Packetfence there is no switch template for Web Auth for a Huawei WAC, is there another template that I could utilize with some customization? Also, I read the guide for unsupported equipment (https://www.packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_G uide.html#_unsupported_equipment), it seems that Packetfence requires a network architecture where either the DHCP service is provided by Packetfence or a copy of the DHCP service is sent to Packetfence. Is that a requirement for my scenario? I should note that it is possible in the Huawei controller to include the client MAC address (and many more paramenters if needed) in the redirection URL. Wouldn't that be enough for packetfence to have knowledge of a client request?
