I have found a solution regarding this issue.
Now, I need to ask how should I implement the solution.
In order to disable the Captive Portal popup on iOS I need to check the
UserAgent of the incoming request (which is how Apple detects internet) for
CaptivePortalNetworkSupport and rewrite the url to a success page with HTTP 200
. The only problem is I don't know where would be the best place to put it and
what url should I rewrite to. I think I need to add the following rule into one
of the /usr/local/pf/conf/httpd.conf.d configuration files. I just don't know
which one should I add it to and what should be the path to the success page
(PATH_TO_SUCESS_PAGE )? Would placing the success page in
/usr/local/pf/html/captive-portal/templates/ directory work?
RewriteEngine onRewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^CaptiveNetworkSupport(.*)$
[NC]RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /PATH_TO_SUCESS_PAGE [L,R=200]
Thanks.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] iOS captive portal issue
I am having a strange issue with PF and iOS captive portal. Basically, on iOS,
the auto detection pops up a captive portal popup (which is not a fully
functional browser : no cookies, javascript disabled etc)
The PF registration process isn't working properly in this auto popup window.
The user can get to the registration page and when the click 'Register By
email'. Their details get added to the database and their network is enabled
BUT, the user is not redirected to the 'release.html' page (with the timebar).
The page just hangs after they have clicked the button.
The above works on IOS in a Safari browser though. Has anyone else had this
issue? If so how did they solve it?
I am using PF 5.0.1 on CentOS 6.6 in inline mode.
Thanks.
