not sure which wifi integration you're using (or is it wired?) but, at least for Ruckus (and im sure others as well), when using web-auth it will have the mac address in the redirect message and support a "remote" authentication without any need to forward dhcp to packetfence.
(it can get tricky to configure the access points in the "switches" part).. I had to add them both by MAC as well as the IP of my controller.. but it works. I have PF deployed in a remote datacenter and 10 schools which connect to it (over a VPN, but thats just so I dont expose PF to the internet). All the school sites have overlapping IPs On Sun, Sep 25, 2022 at 5:03 PM Michael Weber via PacketFence-users < packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hello all, > > is there a way to pass the MAC address of the client to the captive > portal? > I think something about: https://packetfence/signup?mac=aabbccddeeff > I would like to use the redirect to a external website and pass the mac to > the portal with something like: > http://packetfence/captive-portal?next=next&mac=aabbccddeeff > > Background: > We have multiple offices without VPN that use wifi and got the same subnet > in the wifi.
