      @EMWEE:

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

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

          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);

              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…

              Regards

                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…

                  /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc- http://pastebin.com/BUstXyr1

                  /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php- http://pastebin.com/ffj69qAb

                  Index.php file is copied from Gertjan's pastebin

                  File: /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php : http://pastebin.com/scYuKTyw - index.php

                    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.

                      Thanks & Regards

                        He (amitaussie) PM'ed me with this:
                        CP Tab: file Manager status:

                                    captiveportal-cpzone1-already-connected.html    984 bytes    delete
                                    captiveportal-style.css                           2 KB       delete
                                             TOTAL                                    3 KB
                        

                        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/ffj69qAb

                        on 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)

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                            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.

                                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:

                                  1. 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

                                    if ($writecfg == true)
                                                        write_config();

                                                        $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.

                                      1. 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
                                      /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php- http://pastebin.com/ffj69qAb

                                      But at last great work and great support…..

                                      Thanks & Regards

                                                $timeout = 0;
                                                if (!empty($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

                                            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.

                                            @amitaussie:

                                            ….
                                            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 normal

                                            setcookie("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.
