Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the response.  From your advice below, I edited
/etc/raddb/rlm_perl_packetfence.pl so that even requests from a
non-secure access point would be put on the right VLAN.

However, when we were doing some test registering/unregistering of the
clients that connected over Wi-Fi, they get a very quick DHCP response
on the registration VLAN, but upon authentication, when they are
switched to the "normal" VLAN, the DHCP request response does not
automatically happen, but rather the client has to manually renew their
DHCP release so that they can get on the "normal" VLAN.  The logs are
clearly showing that the client is registering and being unregistered to
the correct VLANs.

Any ideas why this is occurring or what we might be doing wrong?

Hi Ubence,

> Thanks for your quick response.  Yes, from looking at the
/var/log/messages file the /etc/raddb/rlm_perl_packetfence.pl module
wasn't configured properly to connect to the database.  This is the
VMware ZEN image, so the module still had its default values inside of
it.  After updating the password to connect to the database as well as
the vlan IDs, things started to work a little better.

Filed an issue in the BTS to fix this for next ZEN release.

"registered user trying to access non-secure SSID. Kicking out"

By default, our wireless module wants users to be using the Secure SSID 
(WPA encrypted wireless network). You only register using the insecure 
(open). You probably don't have a setup like that so you need to modify 
the script so it will suit your needs.

The script is very easy to understand and documented, just follow the 
flow and put the appropriate variables so that registered users on the 
non-secure SSID are allowed.

It won't do anything for you as it's not an issue.

Have a nice day!
