Hi all,
I have a packetfence (5.5.2) installation running on debian, in vlan 
enforcement mode with a Juniper ex2200 running junos 12.3R11.2 using 
802.1x and Mac Auth. For the most part it's working well, but I have a 
couple of issues that I've noticed:
1. Nodes' sessions, once authenticated, don't appear to end as far as 
packetfence is concerned until the same node authenticates again, either 
on the same port, or elsewhere. This can be seen from the either the 'IP 
address' or 'location' tabs of the node status page, there is no end 
date for either. It doesn't matter whether this connection was mac auth 
or 802.1x (EAP-TLS), the end timestamp doesn't appear until the node 
re-authenticates, despite the radius server having closed out the 
session:
mysql> select * from radacct where radacctid=107\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
            radacctid: 107
        acctsessionid: 8O2.1x81ed00d60005f22d
         acctuniqueid: e416089bd67238bf

        acctstarttime: 2016-01-13 17:59:33
         acctstoptime: 2016-01-13 17:59:45

      framedipaddress:
       acctstartdelay: 0
        acctstopdelay: 0
xascendsessionsvrkey:
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I'm not quite sure how freeradius notifies pf that the session has 
ended, but whatever this mechanism is, it doesn't appear to be working 
correctly in my setup.

2. Each authenticated node appears twice in the node list in the web 
interface, but only during an authenticated session, all details of both 
entries are identical. The radacct table only shows a single radius 
session for the conenction, so it doesn't appear that the switch is 
sending radius requests twice, or anything like that.

If anyone has any suggestions regarding these issues, I'll be very 
grateful.

Thanks,
Andrew
