I successfully reproduced in the lab. I filed:
#1361: Emptying a configuration parameter doesn't work from web admin
and pfcmd
http://www.packetfence.org/bugs/view.php?id=1361

Authentication for https://packetfence:1443/guests/manage is performed
by conf/authentication/guest_managers.pm. Default implementation is a
local flat file but you could replace the authenticate sub with the one
from ldap.pm and have proper LDAP auth for guest management. Also
changes are kept on upgrades. That's what I would do.

Cheers!
