If you disable the error (in code) you must add back the 5.7 code that handles
the email activation:-
sub doEmailRegistration in
/usr/local/pf/html/captive-portal/lib/captiveportal/PacketFence/Controller/Activate/Email.pm
I think this was a MASSIVE mistake by the devs to force this setup on people as
we have quite a few NHS staff who visit the site and
have to access their e-mail via a VPN circuit and of cause this breaks too.
It basically makes PF unusable!

Hi Andrew,
I’m also seeing the exact same issue. Users choose to register by email, then
click the email validation link and get a message to say they must use the same
device to validate.
My packetfence.log looks just like yours but I also noticed in mine that I see
my reverse proxy appliance IP address in the log, which is where I think
packetfence is failing to match the mac address:
I don’t know whether this is a similar situation with your setup or not.
I’m just playing with the transparency settings on the reverse proxy to see if
that will help.
PacketFence tries to detect which device is connecting to the portal http
server based on the incoming IP of the connection.
Proxying is indeed likely to break it.
Can you have the Proxy send a header with the origin IP such as X-Forwarded-for?
Regards,
