      I had the captive portal page working with https and a godaddy external cert. I have try everything and still cannot get it to work. DNS resolves  back to that wireless interfaces gasteway 10.10.50.253 wifi.domainname.com is the pfense box name. I am using godaddy SSL wildcard cert. Like i said before I had it working with our old domain name but i cant find out what I am doing wrong. Any sugggestions. I have followed a few guides but the page redirects but to a blank page and sits there.

        @jswope:

        Like i said before I had it working with our old domain name …

        So if you changed the name of the host did you create a new cert for the new domain name with Godaddy? And are you using split DNS to resolve the hostname for the PFS?

          Yes I have a new cert. and I have a dns forwarder override set to 10.10.30.253 which resolves to wifi.domain name.com which is the host name of the pfense box

            Just as an experiment, have you tried accessing the login page without using the SSL cert? This might help establish whether the problem is an SSL error or a DNS issue.

                Much as I dislike having to tease information out bits at a time, I'll ask:

                What is the old domain?
                What was the name you gave your PFS using the old domain?
                What is the new domain?
                What is the new name you've given your PFS in the new domain?
                What domain does your wildcard certificate cover?

                  What is the old domain? alton-il.com
                  What was the name you gave your PFS using the old domain? wifi.alton-il.com
                  What is the new domain? cityofaltonil.com
                  What is the new name you've given your PFS in the new domain? wifi.cityofaltonil.com
                  What domain does your wildcard certificate cover? *.cityofaltonil.com

                  Captive  Portal Works with http and it with https it just sits there on a white page loading.

                    What does this output when run from behind the portal?

                    openssl s_client -connect wifi.cityofaltonil.com:8003 -showcerts
