Captive Portal and CoA-ACK on Apple Devices #8363

Closed stoffl89 closed 6 days ago

stoffl89 commented 1 month ago

Hi all,

i have a Packetfence Installion Version 13.2. Everything is working fine except Apple devices in Guest Environment ... When i connect an Apple device (Doesn't matter if iPhone, iPad or MAC) the Captive Portal opens as expected, i can login with my Authentication Sources, but then the Network Detection is not working. The Captive Portal does not disappear and i got the message, that the network connection could not be established. And here's the thing. If i disconnect the device and reconnect it, i got a working Connection. Network Detection works great on multiple Android Devices and Windows, but not on Apple. In the Audit Logs i got an CoA-ACK and Accept Message. Even if i try with Disconnect instead of CoA, Apple does not understand what to do.

Has anyone else this behavior?

Thanks in advance! Chris

It's a known behaviour for Apple Devices.
