Thanks, that does help for the fingerprints, however I'd still like to know if it is possible to configure PacketFence to sit behind a webproxy server. It's not a massive issue if it can't, and to be honest our proxy server is going to be taken out in the next year or so, but it would make things a little more streamlined if it was possible now.
