We have a packet fence server (version 8.1) that was working without
problems up until it was moved to a virtual data center (new ip
address). It still work fine, but every Saturday at around 8pm it seems
to overwrite its ip address with its old ip address and the entire
server becomes
eneral Configuration still resolves to the old ip address. Could this
be causing the issue?

We've been using packetfence successfully for quite some time. Recently,
we moved all of our servers over to a new data center. Since then,
whenever the services on our packetfence server are stopped or started,
the ip address information disappears and the service is no longer
reachable.
I've tested our new Packetfence server using local users and using our
Active Directory. The test setups seem to work fine. Now, I'm trying to
set up a production WLAN and we'd like to use only local users to
authenticate, not AD. Can someone give me a little help in
troubleshooting? I can't
We are getting constant emails about exceeding the Fingerbank API hourly
limit. Our server is not yet in production use, and at the moment is not
even being tested. If it's doing a query on every MAC address it sees, I
would have thought it would have done everyone of them many, many times

Actually, I thought the WLC was still doing the MAC filtering. It
appears to be sending an auth request to PF using the MAC address as the
username, and something obscured as the password (I'm assuming it's also
the MAC). It looks like it's getting authenticated even though no
username like

I'm trying to join our Packetfence server to our AD domain. No luck so
far, and the errors I'm getting aren't really that helpful. In Policies
and Access Control -> Active Directory Domains, I'm getting "Test Join

I've heard that you can sync accounts between your Active Directory and
Google. Can you do the same between Google and local Packetfence accounts?
