Hi Nicolas,

Keep i mind that freeradius must validate the username and password of
the user, it's why you have to probably configure that:
https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/blob/devel/docs/PacketFence_Administration_Guide.asciidoc#option-2-authentication-against-active-directory-ad

Then when the 802.1x connection will work then packetfence will answer
the reg vlan if the device is unreg and you will hit the captive portal.
And if your device is reg then packetfence will answer the production
network you defined.

So first do that and maybe after you will want to enable
autoregistration on 802.1x connection.

Also run freeradius in debug mode will help: radius -d
/usr/local/pf/raddb/ -X


Regards
Fabrice
