Actually it was your hint about device registration that clicked and made me 
check my connection profile. 

Still, it ALWAYS helps to ask questions and read answers and advices very 
carefully šŸ˜‰

 

Ludovic, please guide me through the connection profile creation for public 
WiFi with captive portal for guests.

Just high level and mostly hints, like what modules are involved.

I did everything as advised here on Unifi side

 

https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_Guide.html#_ubiquiti_2

 

But there are gaps in understanding of what to do on PacketFence side

1.      I created/cloned the external authentication source for SMS based 
registration and included only Canadian cellular operators
2.      I’m reusing the same switch group that includes Unifi APs, under ā€œRole 
by VLAN IDā€ I put a VLAN ID 20 to guest, but I suspect this is wrong

 

As far as I understand it, I need to create a condition for PacketFence to help 
it differentiate if the authentication comes via WebAuth and not 
Wireless-802.11-EAP. Is this where the connection profile comes into place ? 

 

Eugene

The logs don’t lie ;-)

That’s what I missed, namely the connection profile for devices registration 
wasn’t enabled.

Thank you, Ludovic!

If you node has: status = registered and a role, PacketFence would return the 
VLAN for the role from the switch (inherited configuration from switch groups 
or not).

 

Do an authentication and send the logs.packetfence.log.

Hi Ludovic,

Thanks for looking into it.

My search through packetfence.log didn’t produce any matches for the specific 
MAC address.

Let me paraphrase my question. The group of switches (or rather Wireless AP) 
has a list of roles.

The top is registration with VLAN 2. Then go three more, i.e. isolation, 
macDetection, inline and reject. 

Only then do I have Staff role with VLAN 10. I don’t have a way to change this 
order and my attempt to assign VLAN 10 to registration was reversed after I 
restarted PacketFence services. Essentially RADIUS assigns by default VLAN 2 
which is against my logic and design. I don’t have registration and isolation 
interfaces/VLANs. It is pure dot1x/RADIUS authentication via management 
interface

 

Eugene

Hello Eugene,

 

The answer is in your logs.

 

grep MAC_ADDRESS /usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log

Folks, 

Can someone help me identify what I’m missing.

My authentication session goes through but the endpoint that connects to WAP 
(Unifi) never gets an IP address.

I investigated it and see that RADIUS assigns the wrong VLAN to the connection.

This is what I see in the live session log

 

Oct 29 12:04:29 packetfence auth[1201]: [mac:18:81:0e:7c:3c:ed] Accepted user: 
it.tech <http://it.tech/>  and returned VLAN 2

 

But my authentication source has a rule with an action to set the Role Staff 
which is defined with a specific VLAN 10

VLAN 2 on the contrary is assigned to a registration role which I’m not using 
at the moment.

My short term goal is dot1x WiFi authentication with RADIUS assigned VLAN.

 

Eugene
