Captive Portal is still not working.

freebee

Same problem here. The rule id is the same. Deleted and everything work again. No mac address rules (just download and upload limit). The captive is running in a virtual wireless interface. If you click in save, the rule 65303 back again to ipfw.

In a fast search i found this:
/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc: Line 527.
add 65303 set 1 pass layer2 mac-type pppoe_disc,pppoe_sess

This line was add in this change:
https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense/commit/ee79fcda34ce65d9a9e99c26983659a5bc115b75

Possible fix ?.

Other thing is, the Allowed IP address and Allowed hostnames don't work.
I can't ping or navigate (or download images from) in domains registered in this areas.

Somebody else can confirm this ?.

I setup freeradius2 with CP and once I follow the instructions from MoSpock I receive the error:


Fatal error: Class 'Auth_RADIUS_' not found in /usr/local/captiveportal/radius_authentication.inc line 104

The rule issue should be fixed.
Also only port 80 and 443(if enabled) will be forwarded now.

@ermal:

and 443(if enabled) will be forwarded now.

Forwarding 443 to the CP (e.g. people trying to connect to facebook or gmail via https reaching lighttpd listening on e.g. 8001 instead) will just produce a "big scary warning" in practically all cases.

While this won't help short term, RFC 6585 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6585) introduced the HTTP 511 status code: Network Authentication Required.

They could have made clearer how they expect the browser to handle the certificate error, with section 7.4 stating:

Also, note that captive portals using this status code on a Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection
(commonly, port 443) will generate a certificate error on the client.

If the browser still shows a certificate mismatch to the user I don't really see a huge improvement and even less any browser vendor caring to implement that rfc.

It's not much of an improvement to redirect HTTPS since it's impossible to provide a cert that doesn't throw up a big ugly warning. But most commercial CP implementations do redirect HTTPS to the portal and generate a cert warning, so I guess that's the route we'll probably end up taking… Though we probably need to go back and change this so it only redirects HTTPS if you have HTTPS enabled on the portal, as is I believe it'll redirect HTTPS to the HTTP port if you're not using HTTPS, which will just result in a failed connection. Maybe better than sitting there and timing out I guess.. not sure, there isn't a great answer, and with more and more sites defaulting to HTTPS (Google being a big one that a significant number of people have set as their home page), it's becoming more important.

With the last snapshot: 2.1-BETA1 (i386) built on Sat Dec 15 00:36:37 EST 2012 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p5
the client cannot connect to the internet when Captive Portal is enabled. So tht's better.
However the client is not redirected to the captivge portal.

I made pull requests that will fix a bug related to the https redirection rule and a second one with the php pfSense module.

You can wait for them being included in a next snapshot or apply the patches yourself.

Which commercial CP implementations do that ? Because I've checked quite a few, and haven't seen that yet, except in the context I've mentioned (MiTM). Please also note that in recent years the popular browsers produce even more strongly worded warnings about the SSL certificate CN mismatch.

One scenario I've encountered is when the CP uses a wildcard SSL cert and extracts the CN on the fly and uses it as the hostname to redirect to e.g. http://www.zeroshell.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=703

There are several features of commercial CP implementations that could be added to enhance pfsense, such as auto-adding OCSP URLs of the CP's SSL cert to a whitelist ("walled garden") so that clients running newer OSes (e.g. MacOS X 10.7.x +) work correctly.

cmb

Name of the vendor escapes me at the moment, but it's one of the biggest ones you find in many chain hotels. I travel a lot and always try CPs to see if they intercept HTTPS. The big vendors almost all do.

Using wildcard certs doesn't help with the main problem, you can't get a wildcard cert on any domain. eg the interception of say https://google.com can't not produce a cert error.

@dhatz:

which we already have in private versions, amongst many other features. May or may not get open sourced at some point.

Absolutely, it only makes sense if you've somehow first imported your own root CA cert into all the clients' certificate store. Given that, in the previous example the ZS CP will create the "correct" SSL cert on the fly, based on what the client asked for.

Perhaps you should hint at these private versions, or people will go look elsewhere …

Anyway, wrt the CP, probably the most useful feature (in a commercial context) would be PMS integration.
