We are attempting to configure PacketFence 6.0.3 to provide student 
halls access using a captive portal/802.1x/MAC Auth. We have an issue 
with the /device-registration interface. I have been using the form to 
add additional devices OK, then I asked a colleague (Jon) to try it and 
all his registrations appear in the Nodes page as unregistered and the 
owner is default.

I have used the captive portal to test it and I appear in the list of 
Users. Jon has not and is not in the user list. I had assumed when he 
logs in on the /device-registration page he would be added to the Users 
list automatically, but he is not. Is this a bug? If not how can I 
change the behavior to automatically create the user?

I'm thinking of the scenario of a student turning up with a game console 
but no PC/laptop, so does not have a device he can register via the 
captive portal. A work around seems to be manually creating a user for 
this student with a fake password (since you need to enter one), then 
under the portal profile set the Sources to just use the Active 
Directory to authenticate users.

Thanks,

Paul
