Wow, danke. That is certainly correct, NOT a pfsense Bug. :) Really much thanks to share the information for the package programming. Nice weekend. CAT

Hi, I do not have a solution but I would be also interested in one. This redirect could happen if for example a request could not be resolved within 5s or 10s. I am interested in this, too, when doing maintenance on an upstream router so that the users know that what is going on. Thanks!

Hi, I've been trying use captive portal with radius auth using Windows server 2008r2 existing NPS, this NPS been use for my wireless with radius auth too, but it seem with this PfSense (with same config), i couldn't make it work. really appreciate it if anyone could help. Cheers!

Humm. Right. I looked it up in the manual (the PHP source ). @Gertjan: Edit the file - remove everything between <captiveportal>and</captiveportal> didn't work for me neither. Had the same message as you. This time I tried it out myself before replying …: This works: all was reset when importing this: <captiveportal></captiveportal>

When you submit via javscipt it doesn't send the submit value so you have to add it as a hidden value. Here is the code:

@jarves: How do I direct users to the captive portal? I have windows dhcp server which serves ip and also a cisco router which acts as dhcp. What would be the changes on the windows dhcp and cisco dhcp side? Despite the two DHCP servers on your network, the thing that makes the CP work is the gateway. Tell your DHCP server (one of your choice) to send the IP of your pfsense machine as the gatweay to your dhcp clients.

"per AP" is "per Interface" is "per zone", right ? I used this code (in a Munin plugin) to count all users on all zones, I guess it will be easy to adapt it a little bit for your needs: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q require_once("/etc/inc/util.inc"); require_once("/etc/inc/functions.inc"); require_once("/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc"); /* read in captive portal db */ /* determine number of logged in users */ $count_cpusers = 0; /* Is portal activated ? */ if (is_array($config['captiveportal'])) { /* For every zone, do */ foreach ($config['captiveportal'] as $cpkey => $cp) { $cpzone = $cpkey; /* zone selected -> count users and add */ $count_cpusers += count(captiveportal_read_db()); } } echo $count_cpusers; ?>

Good thing to here ! Btw: did your never thought about making your network more - simple -.

I share the same goal and have managed to accomplish something similar. The major difference is that I am not using VLAN tagging. I couldn't ever get it working on DD-WRT. I am using Merlin WRT on RT-N66Us (for stability and performance). While I haven't gotten 802.1q style VLANs working, I do have port based VLANs working. See this thread for details.http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=12750

Thanks Gertjan… My backup was from version 2.0.3. What i did i just extract the mac address for the pass-through clients, create a new zone and manually encode those mac addresses. Thanks again

You can do this using CARP. @ar4uall: Hey guys, I don't know if this is possible or not, or if there's a genie out there that did it. Situation, i have a PfSense box with Captive Portal authenticating users to a NPS on 15 airports, meaning 1 box and 1 NPS per airport. Now pilots travelling from an airport to another don't want to re-authenticate at each airport they travel to. Is it possible that once they authenticated to a 1st box, that 1st box replicates the authenticated user to all the other ones so the user does not need to re-authenticate again?! ??? Thanks you very much for your time. ;)

I had this idea also but the only way i figured it out is to setup multiple virtual ssid on each accesspoint and also multiple virtual lan interfaces in the pfsense config and creating tunnels between both of them. That would allow us to have multiple captive portal "zones" wich will have thier own vouchers, and download/upload speed setting. That being said, i think i will need some help doing all that configuration. I am using dd-wrt (both d-link and linksys) accesspoints and i spend a whole day trying to figure out how to connect virtually a pfsense interface with a specific ssid on my access point without success. does somebody have a similar configuration?

Those errors come out usually when you forward HTTP(port 80) traffic to SSL(port 443) traffic. Probably need to be checked what the forwarding rules generated are doing there to tell for sure. Normally, apart overhead there is no problem with that.

Hi, thank you for this answere. Yes, I want just one "random" password every 24h. Every user will use the same username and password. The password should not be really random at all. Maybe something calculated out of the date. So I don't need the mailing capatabilities. Vouchers for 24h won't be a good solution for my purpose. It's for an exhibition, where users can access the internet over a captive portal only for the current day. And yes 'php' is difficult for me :(

Thanks for the answere. I've found an easy way to do this: I've added target="_blank" to the form-tag.

I'm just saying that whatever problems you're having, 2.0-RC3 is pretty much ancient.  Lots and lots of captive portal patches since then.
