    Ah, that wasn't clear to me from your first post.  I have not tried the radius provided session timeout.  If I get some time maybe I can test it against my lab setup this week to see if I get the same results.

      Thank you.
      I very much appriciate it, it's an important feature for me which I need Pfsense to fully support.

        I've been really busy this week and have yet to have a chance to try it out.

            But the timeout in the captive portal is a global timeout for all users, and there's a special check-box for grabbing
            the session-timeout attribute returned from the radius- if its there then it means it is supposed to work.

            Actually, I think that might be part of the radius code that hasn't been backported from HEAD when we last merged in the m0n0 CP code.  This may be a feature that's not supposed to work and needs to be stripped from 1.0.  I'll try and confirm that shortly.

              Scott can probably add more, but the more I look at the code, the more I'm convinced that this feature slipped in during a merge of the CP code which requires the newer radius.inc and PECL RADIUS that's in HEAD.

                Could be.  I don't know.  Will check it out.

                    We havent changed RELENG_1's captive portal code in quite a while.  That is not it.

                      Sorry but I'm a bit confused.
                      Is the 'session-timeout' attribute supported or not?

                        Session timeout is working fine for me here.  But I am in no way using radius.

                          Right.
                          When not using radius, it's working fine.

                          Question is - what happens when using radius?
                          There's a special box to use Session-Timeout attribute received from the radius so why is that not functioning?

                          Thanks.

                                I've been too busy to test this yet, sorry.  I have a lot of travel in the next few weeks so it may be a little while.

                                  You might want to test this with m0n0wall and bring this to attention at the m0n0 list if it's the same there. pfSense's captive portal is a nearly exact copy of the m0n0 CP though it's not the version used  in the latest m0n0wall.

                                    Looks like m0n0wall's beta 1.23b1 has improvement on that issue:

                                    hanges in captive portal (jdegraeve)

                                    * fixed a bug in the way we handle authentication mechanisms (potentially allowing double logins and faulty locking)
                                        * add support for different MAC address formatting styles
                                        * add support for per-user bandwidth limitation (using well-known WISPr RADIUS attributes)
                                    http://m0n0.ch/wall/beta.php

                                    So if you're really stuck, you might want to take a look at m0n0wall for the mean time.

                                      We have already backported this code to HEAD but it will not appear in 1.0.  I agree with namezero, if this is such a big issue then please run m0n0wall.
