Ah. Thank you - that clarifies things!

In the Administration Guide (v3.6.1) on p78, it says, "On wireless
networks, the usual PacketFence setup dictate that you configure two SSIDs:
an open one and a secure one. The open one is used to help users configure
the secure one properly and requires authentication over the captive portal
(which runs in HTTPS)." Now, I understand that the registration page can
provide a link to a wireless configuration file for an iOS device, but what
happens for other devices which require a secure, encrypted wireless link,
e.g. Windows machines and non-iOS phones?

Thank you in advance.
