Hello, Indeed it is making it to the users-list. Otherwise, I wouldn't receive this email.
What’s the point of setting it to management type? The IP address with which you access the web portal of PacketFence would appear by default in the second screen (After you select the enforcement). There you must set it as management 'because Packetfence has to know which address would you use to access PF web portal. Secondly, I used VLAN enforcement for my PF environment and later I also use built-in radius services for authentication of end devices. For me it was also difficult is the beginning but now everything seems to work. if there is no particular reason for choosing radius enforcement, perhaps try with VLAN enforcement.
