Captive portal manual logout page address
-
Got it working on 2.2. Just do the same thing :)
Yep. You're right. Works for me on 2.2 now.
I'll have to do some checking the next severals days - have 'verbose portal logging' activate to see how it goes. -
Hi there,
I am not able to get it working after days effort. I am not using https CP.
Can anyone please write a step by step guide to make this working.
Thanks

I never tried it without https login.
Like: "why do it the easy way, if the difficult way is available ?" :)
https need valid signed certificates by a know authority, I just followed "PFsense 2.1 MultiCP and https with Windows Radius Guide" (in this forum) and …. it worked - costs me some time and zero € or $ **.I'll test the plain http tomorrow morning (can't test my portal on distance >:( )
**) but you need to have a valid, existing domain name on the internet, which, of course, costs some € or $ a year ......
Btw: Here are my portal stats (all stats are pfSense internals) http://www.test-domaine.fr/munin/brit-hotel-fumel.net/pfsense.brit-hotel-fumel.net/index.html#portalusers

Think im gonna try the less secure IP/MAC solution.
I use it in a enviroment with BYOD en slot of Androids/IPhone dont lauch there browser but login via the OS. So the cookie is not stored.

"So the cookie is not stored" ??
I tested all this with one device : an iPhone 4S (iOS 8x). I know my iPhone stores the cookie, because I get the logout-page.
This page can pop up if the cookie is found and the cookie info contains a current logged-in session ID.I presume all iDevice (iPhone, iPad, etc) and other smartphones, all PC's, that is, the actual clients on our wifi network) are logging in because a browser pops up …. we rarely explain that at the reception (of our hotel).
I NEVER touch or control devices of our clients (the BYOD owners) - some times I know they have 'static IP's ( well ..... ;D) or 'firewalls that block everything except their 'own' home network (well ...... ;D). -
Well i have tested it on different phones. Soms phones open the browser to login. ATM im running Android 5.0.2 and it opens up a captive portal login from Android it self…nog a browser.
A collegue of mine tested it on his iphone while using the system login and not his browser and had the same problem...no cookie.
So here is a screen from my Android 5.0.2.
Check the icon on the left. If i click on that system message it doesnt load a browser.
Ill make more screens tomorrow.

Well. Great. You're right.
PC's (tested Windows 7) with a default browsers like IE, Chrome FF or whatever: they will receive the cookie.
The integrated iOS browser used by my iPhone thats pops up when I connect to the wifi portal: It will NOT store the cookie.
Hitting again with the 'real' Safari (the build in App) browser the portal page will let me auth again (I was already authenticated) and this time, the cookie shows up in the (his) cache. I could see it **.
(this is what I was doing all the time, I guess, blaming some cache issue.)
When done that, another visit will show me the logout page - as planned.The 'login' browser isn't the same thing as the App browser ? The login browser doesn't store cookies ?
Anyway: the 'cookie system' isn't perfect for mobile or hand held devices like Androids, iDevices, etc.What now ?
As you already said above: Mixing up MAC/IP and Cookie ?** I changed the cookie set code:
[in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc - in function captiveportal_reapply_attributes($cpentry, $attributes)]$timeout = 0; if (!empty($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout']) && is_numeric($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'])) { $timeout = time() + $config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'] * 60; setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout); } else setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout);
If a hard timeout is set then it's used to set a the cookie expiration time.
http://pastebin.com/jDHVaNwf updated in consequence.

Hmm i dont understand the idea behind this… :(
-
Nah in Android i get my login page but its not my browser. When i login it closes right after….so no redirect either.
Im crakcing my head around your new code....but i cant figure out your idea behind setting a timeout in the cookie.
-
The 'login' browser isn't the same thing as the App browser ?
Yes. It's not the same thing. The "browser" (Captive Network Assistant) is a piece of junk…

http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
Look at this part in the 'expire' condition: " …. If set to 0, or omitted, the cookie will expire at the end of the session (when the browser closes). "Knowing now that we deal with two browsers, the junk browser [doktornotor ;)] and the real APP afterwards, I thought : what if they DO share their cache ? what if the first closes (as you said) then I could consider this as a 'session close' …. and the cookie would be destroyed.
So I use the hard timeout limit (we set it in minutes, I convert to seconds) , if its present. If none is present, then, well, 'expire' stays '0' - as default.https://support.ruckuswireless.com/answers/000002368 tells a lot about Apple's CNA: it probably doesn't takes the cookie. Other smartphones, other CNA's: same issue.

So the Captive Portal Assistant (pseudo browser) shares the cookies with your other browers?

Noop. Guess not. See my last message …. I edited.

Right, think im gonna switch to the less secure IP/MAC option.
-
So the Captive Portal Assistant (pseudo browser) shares the cookies with your other browers?
No. It's like a crippled "anonymous" browser, no cookies saved, no javascript either AFAICT. The Apple support forums are full of complaints about this nonsense (additionally, it gets gradually worse with every new OS release.
-
GertJan do you have some new links on the pastbin files for your IP/MAC solution?
My already_connected function works…but it seems it can resolv #PORTAL_SESSION#
So I guess I need to add the $htmltext = str_replace("#PORTAL_SESSION#", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext);

https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=77143.msg478165#msg478165Hi EMWEE,
Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to work this solution on LAN interface, but authentication page is not showing, may be I have settings in Firefox " Do no remember history" I ll change this to normal setting and ll try if it works then…

Does your captive portal works without the modifications?
U should get your AUTHENTICATION page by default. So if that doesnt work your captive portal doesnt work out of the box…or u made a mistake in index.php...what would result in a error in your browser.
Maby post your complete index.php and captiveportal.inc on pastebin and share in it this topic.

Hi EMWEE!
Client is not able to connect to internet if CP is active on LAN interface in pfSense and url on client shows this:
http://192.168.100.1:8002/index.php?zone=cpzone1&redirurl=http%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2F%2Fhttp%3A
and gives this message in page - The page isn't redirecting properly
If I do not make changes in pfSense, CP page is showing for authentication on LAN and pop up for log out is working ok.
below are the files…

Do you have a html file with the name "zone"-already-connected.html? (ex. Wifi-already-connected.html)
If your users have a cookie they are redirected to that page.
-
Hi EMWEE!
Yes I have uploaded that file in CP using File Manager. File I uploaded is copied from Gertjan's pastebin
I am using default setting of browsers i.e. firefox. Browser is configure to remember history and accept cookies.
I do not understand how to users have cookie
If your users have a cookie they are redirected to that page.

He (amitaussie) PM'ed me with this:

seems good to me.
I'm put in place his
/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc- http://pastebin.com/BUstXyr1
/usr/local/captiveportal/index.php- http://pastebin.com/ffj69qAbon my pfsense - and report back.
edit.
Ok, found something - your /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php is nearly ok.
This : http://pastebin.com/ffj69qAb when I upload it to my server, produces a file coded in "UNIX - UTF 8 w/o BOM".
Should be "UNIX ANSI."Your http://pastebin.com/ffj69qAb does not popup the portal page for me.
I rebuild http://pastebin.com/scYuKTyw - /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php - entire file - version 2015-02-06 : I took an original "index.php from https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/RELENG_2_2/usr/local/captiveportal/index.php [ PfSense 2.2 Release ] - added my 2 mods - tested on my pfSense and stored on pastbin.org :: http://pastebin.com/scYuKTyw ]Btw: I found out that when coping back the files from pastebin.org to my text editor it converted ther char encoding "UNIX UTF w/o BOM" (there are some nasty non-pure ASCI chars in the file).
Saving the file (example: index.php) in this format will 'explode' the pfSense web server.
ALWAYS check you code page : often this info is visible at the bottom of your text editor (Notepad++, or far better : UltraEdit) -
Hi Gertjan!
Thank you very much for your effort.
I ll check it tomorrow and revert back.

So today i had some free time on the box to test the IP/MAC solution and i cant get it to work. When i revisit the portal page i do get the "already_connected.html" page. But when i press my logout button nothing happends. They only diffrent i can spot is that it doesnt show my #PORTAL_SESSION# string. So i guess thats why i cant logout.
Here is my code:
#function already_connected($clientip, $clientmac) { global $cpzone; if (($clientip != "") && ($clientmac != "")) { $query = "WHERE ip = '{$clientip}' AND mac = '{$clientmac}'"; $cpdb = captiveportal_read_db($query); /* Lookup the $sessionid */ foreach ($cpdb as $cpentry) { if (($cpentry[2] == $clientip) && ($cpentry[3] == $clientmac)) return $cpentry[5]; } return false; } else return false; }
So this part works…since i get redirected to the already_connected page.
function portal_reply_page($redirurl, $type = null, $message = null, $clientmac = null, $clientip = null, $username = null, $password = null) { global $g, $config, $cpzone; /* Get captive portal layout */ if ($type == "redir") { header("Location: {$redirurl}"); return; } else if ($type == "login") $htmltext = get_include_contents("{$g['varetc_path']}/captiveportal_{$cpzone}.html"); else if ($type == "already_connected") { # $sessionid = $_COOKIE['cookie_portal']; $htmltext = get_include_contents("{$g['captiveportal_path']}/captiveportal-{$cpzone}-already-connected.html"); $htmltext = str_replace("\$PORTAL_SESSION\$", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext); $htmltext = str_replace("#PORTAL_SESSION#", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext);
I guess here is something wrong with the str_replace…but i cant figure it out.
I have this on bottom of index.php
else if (already_connected($clientip, $clientmac)) { /* display already connected page */ portal_reply_page($redirurl, "already_connected",null,$clientmac,$clientip);
This looks fine by me since i do get redirected.
And finally, the main part of my zone-already-connected.html:
<form method="post" ="" action="#PORTAL_ACTION#"> <a>IP:</a> <a_curs>#CLIENT_IP#</a_curs> <a>MAC:</a> <a_curs>#CLIENT_MAC#</a_curs> <a>Session:</a> <a_curs>#PORTAL_SESSION#</a_curs> </form>
So i dont see any session ID after Session. When i use cookies this works fine. Does this have anything do to with RADIUS (im using RADIUS).
Or am i missing some part where i need to set sessionid as cpentry[5] in the portal_reply_function?
Something like this:
else if ($type == "already_connected") $sessionid = $cpentry[5]; $htmltext = get_include_contents("{$g['captiveportal_path']}/captiveportal-{$cpzone}-already-connected.html"); $htmltext = str_replace("\$PORTAL_SESSION\$", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext); $htmltext = str_replace("#PORTAL_SESSION#", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext);
-
Ok, I understand why you return " $cpentry[5];" in stead of "true":
function already_connected($clientip, $clientmac) { global $cpzone; if (($clientip != "") && ($clientmac != "")) { $query = "WHERE ip = '{$clientip}' AND mac = '{$clientmac}'"; $cpdb = captiveportal_read_db($query); foreach ($cpdb as $cpentry) { if (($cpentry[2] == $clientip) && ($cpentry[3] == $clientmac)) return $cpentry[5]; } } return false; }
But, here:
.... else if ($type == "already_connected") $sessionid = $cpentry[5]; ...
Danger : (in function portal_reply_page) : "$cpentry[5]" is unknown there, so it is an empty string == "" == nothing.
Just look it up, by now you know for sure it exists:
..... else if ($type == "already_connected") $sessionid = already_connected($clientip, $clientmac); .....
After that, you don't have to do this:
.... $htmltext = str_replace("\$PORTAL_SESSION\$", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext); $htmltext = str_replace("#PORTAL_SESSION#", htmlspecialchars($sessionid), $htmltext); ....
Because its done a couple of line farther along already.
Check out http://pastebin.com/piamkhNB - line 35 and 45 :D
-
Thanks again for ur fast reply GertJan :D.
No wonder that i didnt see a sessionsid when the string was empty. I didnt know it would be unknown at that function.
So ur solution would fix that problem. Thanks again!

Hi Gertjan!
I have made changes to both files /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc and /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php and these are in UNIX /ANSI encapsulation now. I am using index.php file from your pastebin.
After using these files now I am able to get CP login page but when I enter login name and password, browser is redirected to an error page and not able to access internet:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlite_escape_string() in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc on line 2057 "If I manually disable this line 2057 in captiveportal.inc then browser is redirected to "log out page" but again I am not able to browse internet and if I open any new page/tab, browser is redirected to this "log out page" but anycase internet is not accessible. If I click logout button, available on the "log out page", then I am redirected to a page:
"You have been disconnected. Failed setsockoptFailed setsockopt"In this post at page no-1 you have mentioned 3 changes in captiveportal.inc file but at no-3, about a change in a function in captiveportal.inc file I am confused:
- Replace the entire function portal_allow(…) with this one : http://pastebin.com/jDHVaNwf (actually, I just added nearly at the bottom one line:
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);
I copied this whole function from your pastebin and applied in my file but I am not able to find the change you mentioned:- setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);
I think my captiveportal.inc file is not ok, so I am getting these errors, can you please upload your entire captivelportal.inc file so that I can use that file and see if it works for me or any other idea?
Thanks & Regards
amitaussie
- Replace the entire function portal_allow(…) with this one : http://pastebin.com/jDHVaNwf (actually, I just added nearly at the bottom one line:
-
if ($writecfg == true) write_config(); $timeout = 0; if (!empty($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout']) && is_numeric($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'])) { $timeout = time() + $config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'] * 60; setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout); } else setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout); ```Line 2086 in http://pastebin.com/BUstXyr1\. Thats where the cookie is set. The other 2 changes are the functions: already_connected and portal_reply_page What i didnt find in this topic is what version of pfSense are you using? I tried GertJan's code for 2.1.5 at first and when i got that working i tried to copy it to a 2.2 box…it didnt worked. I just replaced the function by hand in the original captiveportal.inc and index.php files instead of replacing the whole file. Maby you can try that. Post your captiveportal.inc again to see whats wrong.

Hi Gertjan & EMWEE!
At last I got it working…..
Problem was the 3rd change in captiveportal.inc file.
- Replace the entire function portal_allow(…) with this one : http://pastebin.com/jDHVaNwf (actually, I just added nearly at the bottom one line:
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);
If I copy entire mentioned 3rd function from Gertjan's http://pastebin.com/jDHVaNwf then it is giving that error
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlite_escape_string() in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc"
I copied first 2 functions entirely from Gertjan's pastebin but in last 3rd function I added a line as suggested by gertjan "setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);" in function portal_allow(…) after line...(as told by Gertjan earlier. so do not copy 3rd function entirely from pastebin)if ($writecfg == true)
write_config();
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);CP page is showing and "log out page" some times appears and some time not but I can recall "log out page" by entering address "192.168.100.1:8002" in url anytime and it also gets disconnected if hit logout button so its working.
Only 1 problem is left "log out page" gets redirected after entering user name and password so it does not appear always as it should. I have also updated my pastebin files.
/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc- http://pastebin.com/BUstXyr1

$timeout = 0; if (!empty($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout']) && is_numeric($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'])) { $timeout = time() + $config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'] * 60; setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout); } else setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout);
Dont know if this works…i only have
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid)
"log out page" some times appears and some time not
It should give you a logout page when u revisit 192.168.100.1:8002 and when u have a cookie.
So no cookie = no logout.
But I can recall "log out page" by entering address "192.168.100.1:8002" in url anytime and it also gets disconnected if hit logout button so its working.
This is the opposit of what you stated above….
Only 1 problem is left "log out page" gets redirected after entering user name and password so it does not appear always as it should.
So your logout page shows up right after u logged in?
-
"log out page" some times appears and some time not
By this I want to say that after log in via CP, log out page does not appear as it should, rather I am redirected to intended site. Like if I start to use internet and want to browse google, CP page comes in, I log in , now log out page should appear but it does not, I am redirected to google site and when I need to log out I has to recall log out page. but sometimes I dont get redirected to intended site instead log out page remains.
cookies are enabled in my browser by default. but log out page should come if cookies are disabled too. is int it?Thanks & Regards
amitaussie -
By this I want to say that after log in via CP, log out page does not appear as it should, rather I am redirected to intended site.
This is ok and normal.
That's why I tell about it on my login page -
Btw: as said before, the original patches were valid for 2.1.5.
To make them work on 2.2 you just can't copy entire functions drom (my) pastbin.org - you should have putting in the replacements. The is because other stuff changed also, remember 2.1.5 is not 2.2 - many lines have changed.
By putting in 2.1.5 functions, you downgraded your 2.2 - and that can give strange results, or worse.
I should have post diff files on pastebin - or files for each version.….
cookies are enabled in my browser by default. but log out page should come if cookies are disabled too. is int it?Not possible.
No cookie = logout page can't pop up.
Just check the code yourself : the cookie has to be found.
The cookie contains your sessionid
The sessionsid is looked up in the users database.
If its found, a logout page is produced and you can see it.Btw: IF your are logged in - and you accept cookies, the visiting this page 192.168.100.1:8002 (on your pfSEnse box) will produce the logout page.
This:
$timeout = 0; if (!empty($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout']) && is_numeric($config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'])) { $timeout = time() + $config['captiveportal'][$cpzone]['timeout'] * 60; setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout); } else setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, $timeout);
is the nearly same thing as this:
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, 0);
The difference is that I test first if a hard timeout is set on the portal interface (in minutes).
If it exists, its used to set the max live of the cookie, because, the user will be disconnected after that time. No need to keep the cookie alive after that. It will die by itself.
If the hard timeout isn't set, then a normalsetcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, 0);
will be used, which is the same as:
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);
Anyway, since I discovered that CNA is bugging all this severely, I'm still trying to mix up "IP/MAC and cookie" logout …. works is still in progress.
-
Hi Gertjan!
Thanks for the explanation.
It would be better if it can work on 2.2 too.
Thanks & Regards!
amitaussie
-
It does work on 2.2. Just do the same thing. But dont copy the whole files…just insert the needed parts.
If you want to be redirected to the logout page right after you logged in you can simply enter the redirected url in the GUI.
I use this to be redirected to the coporate website.
-
Hi!
Yes, it is working in 2.2!
But I found a problem I dont know if I am right?
I am browsing internet after log in via CP login page, I want to log out, I recall log out page 192.168.100.1:8002, it comes, but if I close the browser without logging out and later on when I try to log out by recalling log out page, I am redirected to CP Login page and after entering credentials then only I am redirected to log out page.
Problem is if I am already logged in and I want to log out by recalling 192.168.100.1:8002, then log out page should come, not CP log in page. isnt it?
-

This is by design ;)
I already talked about setcookie() and how the browser handles cookies.
Read again: http://php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
And this time, see what the THIRD parameter does: expire.Remember :
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid);
is the same thing as
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, 0);
What you described in your question:
The time the cookie expires. This is a Unix timestamp so is in number of seconds since the epoch. In other words, you'll most likely set this with the time() function plus the number of seconds before you want it to expire. Or you might use mktime(). time()+606024*30 will set the cookie to expire in 30 days. If set to 0, or omitted, the cookie will expire at the end of the session (when the browser closes).
So => closing browser == cookie destroyed == no more log out page.
This means you have to walk through the login again to get a cookie to be able to logout.
Exactly as you found out.A solution might:
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, time()+strtotime("+1 day"));
This cookie will be persistent for one day.
-
Hi Gertjan!
This solution is perfect now, I hope! working great in 2.2!
setcookie("cookie_portal", $sessionid, time()+strtotime("+1 day"));
For one day it is ok.
Testing it further to see if there's anything to improve (hopefully nothing :))Thanks & Regards
