Yes that is the page we have enabled. The source is set to our active directory. We can see the authentication on that page working from the packetfence logs. The problem is when a user logins in on that page and registers their MAC, they get the message that it registered OK, but unless they already have an entry in the person table in the pf database (i.e. the Users list), the MAC registration is actually stored as unreg and assigned to user default, not the person who logged into the site. Logging into the site does not add an entry to the Users list which I believe is a bug. This is a new CentOS 6 build for this project.
We are thinking about populating the person table each day from a script as a work around if we can't find why this happens.
