Hello Paul, There have been changes in PacketFence 6.1 for the device-registration page. You could try to update to 6.1 or later and see if this was a bug related issue.
I tested this on devel version and this is not happening to me, I used an AD account to login in the device-registration page and then register a device. I will probably test it with your version (6.0.3) just to confirm. Also note that you need to empty the file conf/allowed_device_oui.txt to be able to register any device type from the device-registration page. Make sure to do the following if you make any change to conf/allowed_device_oui.txt; bin/pfcmd configreload hard bin/pfcmd service httpd.portal restart Thanks On 08/24/2016 08:53 AM, Paul Coates wrote: > Yes that is the page we have enabled.
