As mentioned in my previous post, we now have this setup working for email
and SMS registrations (we don¹t want to use sponsored). However, we
pointed clients to the IP address of the management interface on the PF
server in order to test. This poses two problems. First, PF does not open
the web ports (80/443) on the management interface so we have been
stopping iptables every time we restart the packetfence service as a
workaround. We don¹t want to do this in production. Second, after
successfully completing a registration we get the message: ³Sorry! You hit
the captive portal on the management interface. The management console is
on port 1443.² The client has full network access, but this message would
obviously be confusing to end users.

What is the best interface to use for a captive portal for a remote
network? Can I just set up a registration vlan and turn off DHCP services?
If so, what does the vlan use as the default gateway since there does not
appear to be a place to configure one.

Based on something I saw in another thread it looks like defining an
interface as ³portal² is another possibility. How exactly would I
configure a portal interface?
 
Thanks,
