Configuration 16

Authentication

PacketFence can authenticate users that register devices via the captive portal using various methods.

Among the supported methods, there are:

∏ Active Directory

∏ Apache htpasswd file

∏ Email

∏ Facebook (OAuth 2)

∏ Github (OAuth 2)

∏ Google (OAuth 2)

∏ Kerberos

∏ LDAP

∏ Null

∏ RADIUS

∏ SMS

∏ Sponsored Email

Moreover, PacketFence can also authenticate users defined in its own internal SQL database.

Authentication sources can be created from PacketFence administrative GUI - from the Configuration �

Users � Sources section. Alternatively (but not recommended), authentication sources, rules, conditions

and actions can be configured from conf/authentication.conf.

Each authentication sources you define will have a set of rules, conditions and actions.

Multiple authentication sources can be defined, and will be tested in the order specified (note that they

can be reordered from the GUI by dragging it around). Eeach source can have multiple rules, which will

also be tested in the order specified. Rules can also be reordered, just like sources. Finally, conditions

can be defined for a rule to match certain criterias. If the criterias match (one ore more), action are then

applied and rules testing stop, across all sources as this is a "first match wins" operation.

When no condition is defined, the rule will be considered as a fallback. When a fallback is defined, all

actions will be applied fory any users that match in the authentication source.

Once a source is defined, it can be used from Configuration � Main � Portal Profiles and Pages. Each

portal profile has a list of authentication sources to use.

Example

Let’s say we have two roles: guest and employee. First, we define them Configuration � Users � Roles.
