Hello,

I am currently testing PacketFence in a lab envionment to see if it fits
our need.
I successfully installed PacketFence with the VLAN enforcment mode, using
SNMP traps.
Everything works well (after many re-re-re-re-configurations :D) and it
looks promising.
However we want to use the more secure 802.1x technology , at least for our
regular users.
One thing I don't get is how regular users can authenticate with 802.1.x
WHILE at the same time,
new users can at the same time register on the registration portal ?
802.1x by definition works at layer 2, so the switch will "block" every
other traffic, including http.
How come a new user can connect to the switch and access the registration
portal if the port is configured
to use 802.1x ?
There's surely something missing in my mind but i can not grasp it...

Thank you for your help!

Nicolas GAILLY
