Hello,
I am currently testing Packetfence to provide WiFi access to guests using capture portal/web auth. The authentication method would be a PIN via email or SMS. Our equipment is a Huawei AirEngine 9700-M Wireless Access Controller working with Huawei APs in tunnel mode. The Huawei WAC does the VLAN assignment for the guest SSID (no dynamic VLAN assignment needed) and also provides the DHCP service to clients. I see that in Packetfence there is no switch template for Web Auth for a Huawei WAC, is there another template that I could utilize with some customization? Also, I read the guide for unsupported equipment (https://www.packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Network_Devices_Configuration_G uide.html#_unsupported_equipment), it seems that Packetfence requires a network architecture where either the DHCP service is provided by Packetfence or a copy of the DHCP service is sent to Packetfence. Is that a requirement for my scenario? I should note that it is possible in the Huawei controller to include the client MAC address (and many more paramenters if needed) in the redirection URL. Wouldn't that be enough for packetfence to have knowledge of a client request? Thank in advance, Christos Ntokos ----------------------------------------------------------------- ΙT Directorate, University of Ioannina University Campus, 451 10 Ioannina, GR
