hi, could you answer me please? I have decided to implement pf in production 
but I should study and clarify many aspects. Thanks

Oggetto: R: [PacketFence-users] error in captive portal with email 
authentication

 

Hi, I have configured pf in "inline enforcement". The management interface 
172.16.0.252 is connected to the firewall (172.16.0.5) and acts as wan. I added 
an inline interface 192.168.1.252 associated with the second network card and 
on which I enabled the captive portal (Additionnal listening daemons). I 
created a mail authentication source that I gave in the connection profile I 
created. I have applied this profile to the inline network 192.168.1.0.

I have dedicated a wifi connection with SSID: ITS_Guest to this study scenario.

 

Unfortunately, however, the following strange behaviors occur:

 

1) sometimes connecting a device for the first time to the ITS_Guest wifi, it 
happens that the captive portal does not appear but the device surfs the 
Internet regularly.

When I go to the pf console on the Nodes and Users menu items I find this 
device associated with the "default" user with Status: Unregistered

Then if I don't use it for a while, and as soon as I use the Internet on this 
device, the captive portal comes out with an email request.

 

2) for another device this happens to me: I connect to the ITS_Guest wifi and 
the captive portal appears. I enter the e-mail address (to which the pf e-mail 
also arrives), but even if I do not click on the "Activate Access" button in 
the e-mail received, after several seconds the device begins to regularly surf 
the Internet.

When I go to the pf console on the Nodes and Users menu items I find this 
device associated with the user having the name of the email address entered in 
the captive portal with Status: Registered

 

3) Even the behavior of point 2 also occurs by entering a non-existent email 
address.

 

4) If I don't use a registered device for a few minutes, as soon as I launch 
the browser on it, the captive portal comes out again

 

Thanks in advance
