[PacketFence-users] Replacing authorized device

[Polar G. <pol...@gm...>]

Hello all,

 

While my main issue is being looked into I have an additional question. 

Basically what I want to know is this. If I have set a user account to allow
only 1 registered device and they want to register a new/replacement device
before the existing registration expires. How does the end user accomplish
this.

In several other captive portal solutions I have used either as an admin or
end-user, if a user logins into a new device it automatically disables the
existing device. PacketFence instead seems to just deny the new device with
no recourse for a replacement. Am I missing something like a setting that
would change this behaviour? 

 

Effectively what I would like is to allow my students and teachers to use
only specific number of non-school provided devices simultaneously. Students
might legitimately need to use a laptop, tablet or phone on our network at
any given time. But I don't want all those devices live the moment they
enter the school. Just the one they're actually using. 

 

Thanks in advance.
