Good evening,

I am in the middle of considering a couple different NAC type solutions, and 
Packetfence has been the one I have been testing for nearly 2 weeks now.

I am using Fortigates and FortiAPs for wireless.

Right now, I am going through the process of getting guest wifi via captive 
portal working. After giving up on the external captive portal (served via 
Packetfence) after a few days of troubleshooting, I decided to simply use the 
Fortigate's internal captive portal until I can give the magic packet handshake 
issues another go. The idea was to allow internal users to be able to sign onto 
the guest network and use it (BYOD) for internet access after authenticating 
with their AD credentials.
Unfortunately this also does not work. It seems that Packetfence rejects the 
request since Fortigates are not "cli-access" compatible (which is what 
web-auth defaults to). After I continued to dig, it seems that wireless access 
that is not 802.1x is not supported, which strikes me as odd.

I figure I should be able to override this behavior somewhere in radius.pm, but 
my brain is fried and frustrated. Anyone can point into the right direction? Or 
is Packetfence simply unsuitable when not using its built in captive portal?

Thanks in advance
