Captive portal's session timeout
-
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.
-
Cool.
Let me know what you find 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.

No.

No.
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)

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.
