Had this all working perfectly and then moved my install to a new host. When connecting to the guest wifi, captive portal kicks in, login and then I get 'access denied: authentication configuration missing'. Looking in the captive portal logs there is nothing there and when I check the firewall logs from the device they're all green. It has also added the session as active to the captive portal.

If I reconnect the device it'll go straight through as the captive portal already has an active session. Any ideas as to what I'm missing?

Sorted it. Turns out it was an issue with the upstream proxy. Resolved that and it connects straight away.
