Changed Captive Portal / best practise to maintain private/individual changes
-
Hi all,
I have changed the captive portal login.php in order to allow my users to authenticate against a REST Service we are using in out network (please no flames about this - it is what it is). Is there a best practise to maintain such change in order to be able to reapply it once pfsense updates change login.php in the future? At the moment I am keeping it in a diff file to be used by patch…
thanks for any pointers
cheers

System Patches package lets you record patches, apply them, and (at least attempt to) reapply them after an upgrade.
If the service you are authenticating against is not a completely one-off in-house thing, then you could submit the changes on GitHub as an extra feature.

Thanks for that pointer, I will check this package out.
I suppose the system I authenticate against is kinda arcane. I run pfsense to manage the network on a leisure flying airport. Our club uses a cloud based system to manage reservations, flights, licenses etc - the whole 9 yards. This system has a REST interface against which I authenticate pilots wanting to access our network. This system is in use roughly by about 250 clubs in Germany. So, it is not completely arcane - but on a global scale it's probably completely irrelevant :-)
cheers
