To follow this up, we've had some recent developments where we've discovered 
that users of iOS devices have to remove their wireless profile from the device 
and reinstall the profile from the captive portal whenever they change their 
network password. The problem they face is that they cannot get onto the 
captive portal once they have removed the network profile as the device they 
are accessing from is already registered in the database, meaning that they 
have to contact helpdesk staff to unregister their device before they can get 
back on to the network.

Is there any real reason why registered devices shouldn't be allowed back into 
the captive portal to reconfigure? If not, how can I enable that?

Cheers,
Andi

Hi all,
I'd like a way for users that have previously had their device registered (we 
do this automatically from the dot1x settings) to be able to unregister 
themselves from within the captive portal.

Thanks to this list I discovered the /status page, which appears to do the job 
just fine, however, as this is an eduroam install we currently register the 
devices using the full username, including the realm, so that we can see where 
they're from. When I get asked to login on the status page I can only login 
using my username without the realm, and this then tells me I have no 
registered devices against that username.

I presume this is doing an LDAP lookup on my username, is there a way I can 
tweak this so that it will recognise my devices?

Version is 4.2.1

Cheers,
Andi
