CP is now working on 1.2.3 snapshot 9-22-09  ;D here is a link to the snapshots http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/livecd_installer/

Ok so I've found another opensource App called CoovaChilli that supports the external Web/Portal Page.  This is the exact functionality I would like to see in PFSense… am I the only one?

You're correct. I apologise for wasting your time. Textedit on the Mac when you save with a .html extension adds all that guff. I've moved back to vi and it works as it should.

@cmb: To anyone who runs into this problem in the future, you can use Diagnostics -> Edit file to open /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc and towards the top of that file you will see several require_once lines. Add this line with the ones that are there: require_once("config.inc"); then save the changes and that will fix it. Once the next official 1.2.3-RC, or shortly after 1.2.3 release is out, you'll want to re-flash with the new nanobsd embedded, which will also fix the problem. Current snapshots also do not have this problem, some that shipped from Netgate with images we provided them. Thank you CMB.  That indeed did fix my errors on the CP page. Looking forward to 1.2.3 stable but this RC seems to be now working for me well. Thanks again. J.

Add the POP3/SMTP to the passthrough.

I'm currently working on a solution for this…  From what I can see, it should be possible. I'm going through captiveportal.inc right now and figuring out the best way to do it... i'm happy to post whatever code I come up with. If anyone else has ideas or can provide some insight into how it works currently... I would love to hear from you.

update to 1.2.2?? are you useing pfsense of a live cd or do you have it installed on your hard drive?? :-\

thanks this helps ;D

you also have to put both of your pfsense WANS in your radius server that way wich ever wan your radius packets go out your server will accept it ;D

i think multi LAN captive portal will not work untill 2.0 is done

here is a link where we are talking about this problem please join in so the admins know its not just us :-\ http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,18516.0.html

Linksys RV042 will block a mac if it dose not match the IP that way they would have to know the IP of the MAC they are spoofing this helps alot i dont know if pfsense dose that or not ???

It will show the same login to different subnets. That is all up to you in your login page php code if you want to show them different things.

I'm using pfSense-Alpha-Alpha, I tried interim and start/stop accounting, seems its NOT logging off. I'm using FreeRadius + DaloRadius + MySQL.

What browser are you using?    with our set up,  if you hit enter in IE,  it just redirects you back to the login page until you click the button,  in safari and Firefox,  hitting enter will pass you through the portal.
