First, I wanted to gather Name and Email, so I setup a new profile on the
selected VLAN (and the default) with mandatory fields. Nothing shows up. The
only thing I can think of is that it due to my source being Active Directory.
Yes, that should be in active directory, but throughout the year, Housing will
have guests and camps, so collecting a name would be nice.
We are still running PF 3.61 here, so this may not apply to 4.3.
When a user registers via an Active Directory (AD) account, PF
does not populate any of the user fields in its own user database
besides the AD logon ID (sAMAccountName). I do not know if this
is what you are encountering with your missing data.
For guests, camps, contractors, and other non-institutional users,
we make them self-register through the guest portal with SMS or
e-mail verification. No AD account required, and all of the
names and contact info are populated in PF's user database.
I was forced to put PF into production to solve an emergency problem
that popped up, before I had finished configuring it. The last
thing that I was working on before it went live was having both
the guest logon credentials and AD credentials both work as
authentication sources in the portal. I chose to go with AD as
the only auth source when I could only get one or the other working,
meaning that the pre-arrival sponsor guest credential functions in
PF are not functional. It's either AD (employee/student) or
self-registration as a guest on our networks.
We have also developed a unique guest policy that required a little
code tweaking. Anyone who registers as a guest gets 3 days of
access, and then they are unregistered. To prevent us from becoming
the ISP to the entire neighborhood, the unregistration process
sets a 30-day "Guest Access Expired" violation on the MAC address,
preventing immediate re-registration of any guest device that has
over-stayed its welcome (without spoofing the MAC)...
