Captive portal URL
-
Hi,
I'm using pfSense 2.3.2. I decided to test captive portal for wifi users.
I configured an access point controller. There are also rj45 interfaces.
If I connect laptop to rj45 port - everything is fine. I see pfSense captive portal login screen
if I open browser. I can input voucher and all work.But if I use access points - I cant see pfSense captive portal login screen - only a message - cannot open webpage appears.
Access point controller needs IP address and URL for accessing external captive portal.
Captive Portal's IP is statical - 192.168.12.1 but which URL should I use?I tried
http://192.168.12.1
http://192.168.12.1:8002
http://192.168.12.1:8002/index.php
http://192.168.12.1:8002/index.php?zone=zone_questbut nothing work.
Captive portal ip can set separately, there is also packet port number (can set optionally)
But which may be captive portal URL - this is mandatory parameter in acces point controller.
Or is there another port or URL? -
The default in my experience is <ip-address>:8000. So in your case it would be http://192.168.12.1:8000.
Provided your access points are all on the same VLAN as the RJ45 users, you should be able to get a CP page once your client tries to navigate anywhere on the internet.</ip-address>
