Ron,

As Anton said, IOS 8 (re)introduce a “bug” (or maybe it’s a feature… who knows)
that .local domain names are only resolved on a MDNS level. Which means that,
when the device is trying to phone home to detect Internet connectivity,
PacketFence is returning the captive-portal URL and if it is
somethingsomething.local, the iDevice will not resolve it and will fail
silently leaving the user without an Internet connectivity since network access
is not granted if the iDevice doesn’t successfully phone home.

As Brian said, IOS 8 will not allow an https connection with a self-signed
certificate in the “CaptivePortalSupport” browser (the popup that… pops up when
you connect to a captive-portal secure SSID which ask you to log in). You will
have to different choices which are “Connect to another network” or “Use the
device without Internet”. You may be able to openup a web browser but I think
that in any case, the iDevice will disconnect you from the SSID.

That will work

Yep, it is. captive_portal.secure_redirect = disabled
