Hello Eugene,

the error mean that packetfence is not able to contact the api.

Wrong username/password ?

Thank you, Fabrice, as usual !

Yes, it looks like the maintenance patch was not applied (pf-maint.pl) as it started pulling lots of packages when I started it.

But to my frustration it all ended up with nothing:

[root@pf conf]# /usr/local/pf/bin/pfcmd pfcron ubiquiti_ap_mac_to_ip

Died at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/Switch/Ubiquiti/Unifi.pm line 204.

Once again, I’m a bit confused. If I decide to define all APs by IP addresses (and I’d better do because there are many and they are all in one 172.19.0.0/16 subnet) then I can have one entry in switches.conf file

[172.19.0.0]

description=Ubiquiti APs

ExternalPortalEnforcement=Y

type=Ubiquiti::Unifi

controllerIp=172.16.0.XXX

wsTransport=HTTPS

wsUser=admin

wsPwd=XXXXX

But if I decide to have every individual AP added then I need to have as many MAC based entries as I have all APs and all of them sharing the section for Unifi controller IP ?

Hello Eugene,

the probable issue is because the switch is not defined on the packetfence side. (18:e8:29:93:52:a8)

But you can add a switch range on pf (like 192.168.0.0/24 as switch id, set the controller ip and set the http credential to connect to the api) and there is pfcron task who will try to find all the bssid of all the AP and will do a map between the mac and the ip of the AP.

First use the latest version + the maintenance patch (pf-maint.pl) and to force the task do:

./sbin/pfcron ubiquiti_ap_mac_to_ip

to see what you have in the cache:

./bin/pfcmd cache switch_distributed list

You should be able to see Ubiquiti-18:e8:29:93:52:a8 in the cache.

Then retry to hit the portal

Regards

Fabrice

    Guys,

    I’m resurrecting the old topic that I’ve never brought to a
    conclusion and implementation.

    Asking for a second opinion of those who could do it and for
    Fabrice and Ludovic expertise.

    Please help me! I do believe Inverse team tested their product
    with Unifi WiFi.

    I redirect a guest portal from Unifi to PF by using their option
    called “use external portal server”

    The endpoint normally associates to a guest SSID and web page
    comes up showing this error.

    pf.options.bc.ca resolves normally to the IP address of PF that
    has captive portal listens on that IP address.

    What drives me mad and is unknown to me is how this URL is formed
    and why this URL contains the directory of Unifi controller, i.e.
    q4b0wgkk.

    Of course it doesn’t exist on PF and to me it is a reason I see
    “Not implemented”.

    What am I missing ? I can also attach captures done during this
    connection attempt.

    Eugene
