[PacketFence-users] machine auth / hostname

[Jochen A. <joc...@ig...>]

Dear list,

We are currently evaluating packetfence for machine- as well as user- 
authentication (but not on the same device). According to the 
installation guide we set the Authentication Sources to use 
servicePrincipalName (together with Search Attribute dNSHostName) for 
machine auth and sAMAccountName for the users. The host is authenticated 
based on a machine cert issued to it's hostname matching it's AD-record

The authentication works in both cases, but with machine auth hosts do 
not register as nodes (as I would expect them to), instead they appear 
under the users tab. The radius audit log shows the Node 
Information/User Name as host/name.domain and the Users Tab shows 
name.domain and the correct AuthSource for machine auth (The nodes tab 
shows the MAC address and name.domain as owner).
Am I maybe missing something?

Kind regards,


      Jo
