Please test a recent snapshot.

I already tested with 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-08-2007, is there a newer build? If yes please tell me from where I can download it cause from snapshots.pfsense.com the are no newer builds.

Yes, look at the file date and time. The version is not bumped daily or hourly.

Tested with 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-03-08-2007 (built on Wed Mar 14 16:11:27 EDT 2007) but Session-Timeout is still ignored. Even if it is set to zero the user can login successfully.

Sounds like the known m0n0 bug?

I also testing this feature. But currently have no time to check. Last time I saw there are option in captive portal to enable session timeout from radius reply. But it have been taken out coz that time the feature doesn't works. I think need to re-enable config option again so the this feature will enable. I will try to check the code again and hopefully can solve this problem.

@sullrich:

No, in M0n0 the user can still log out if Session-Timeout is set to zero (and I consider this a bug), but if Session-Timeout is set to 60 the user is automatically logged out after 60 seconds. In pfSense the user is not logged out after 60 seconds. Any ideas?

No idea, our code is 99% the same, I checked and re-sync'd a few weeks ago.

sullrich,

Just testing out 1.2-Beta-1. It seems session-timeout is working if we enable it in captive portal config page. But the option was taken out last time when the session timeout is broke. In /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc (line 473) there is checking to disconnect the user based on session-timeout. The checking is

isset($config['captiveportal']['radiussession_timeout'])

I test it by include the option in config.xml by vi and it working. Hope to see the fixed.

Thanks

Can you please provide a diff of your changes.

aneip · May 16, 2007, 8:54 AM

there is no change to the code. I just manually put

<radiussession_timeout>1</radiussession_timeout>

under <captiveportal>in /cf/conf/conf.xml.

in m0n0wall there is a option (checkbox) in captive portal configuration. Not remember the exact word, but it something like 'use session_timeout returned by radius'. The checkbox option was taken out in pfsense last time coz the feature not working.

hope this help..</captiveportal>
