In 5.7 when customers registered a moble device using E-Mail on our visitor
WiFi, they were able to read
and 'Activate' the registration from another PC on our internal wired network
(ie a device that PF knew nothing about).
With 6.0.1 I can no longer do this and the device that I use to read the
activation e-mail and
click the link on fails since the device's MAC address (IP address) is not in
PF's database.
We also have some visitors that can only read their e-mails via a VPN service
and this means that they are unable
to activate their registration.
It returns the error message 'Please use the device you are registering to
validate the e-mail link'
Is this a deliberate change?
Can it be 'bypassed' so that the activation e-mail can be 'replied to' from
anywhere.
The file
"/root/pf/html/captive-portal/lib/captiveportal/PacketFence/Controller/Activate/E-mail.pm"
contains:-
86 # Guest activation should only be validated with the original
device
87 if($node_mac ne $portalSession->clientMac){
88 $self->showError($c, "Please use the device you are
registering to validate the e-mail link");
89 $c->detach();
90 }
It seems to me that this particular 'feature' is incorrect as it assumes that
the user trying to register can use the device
they are on to read their e-mails.
