Hello Will,

It could be a permission issue(if it is try: bin/pfcmd fixpermissions), or something to do with pfconfig or even something else, it is a bit hard to tell with only this message.

You could always try to manually write it from the file conf/authentication.conf, but typo are not kind in this file so make sure to use an existing example.

When done, try:

bin/pfmcd configreload hard, and the source should appear on the admin interface.

Thanks

Hi All,

This saving authentication source in PF 7.0.0 worked fine but when i come to add another source since upgrading to pf7.1.0 gives the below error in the httpd.admin.log

httpd.admin.log:Jul 5 19:16:21 packetfence httpd_admin: httpd.admin(2612) ERROR: [mac:unknown] Error writing authentication configuration (pf::ConfigStore::Authentication::writeAuthenticationConfigFile)

the GUI gives the following:

is there any other way of adding a authentication source?
