There is a specific web page that enabled 'Device Registration'. You need to 'Enable' it in the Configuration->Registration
Your users then go to https://YOURPACKETFENCE/Device-Registration where they enter a username and password. The credentials they can use must be matched by one of your defined authentication SOURCES (or the local user database or both). The portal asks you for credentials then for the MAC address of the device before registering it.

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.
