      It works for me on the GA app, probably the username needs run through urlencode(), maybe that _ is throwing it off.

      And you do not have to save a user before it will generate a QR code. Just click the button and it pulls the field values using JavaScript, it doesn't use PHP or anything that loads on save/edit.

      After a lot of tests (using firefox 55.0.3 and ie11, same results) my conclusion is that this issue (Google's Authenticator app doesn't catch the code on the screen) seems to be related to the browser graphic render /antialiasing.
      If I save the qr code pic as a file (it's a png pic) and then I open it outside the browser (in the same identical resolution and size) zac! It's catched immediately and recognized.

        On firefox (55.0.3 64bit) I need to save and re-open,
        On IE (11) no need to save and re-open

        Maybe It's related to the fact that on firefox, from rel. 52, the java plugin was dropped?

          Small typo:

          QR Code

          Goolge Authenticator supports adding entries via QR Code. Click the button below to generate a QR Code based on the current settings above when Google Authenticator is active. The image can be saved and shown to a user, but treat it as a secure piece of information and do not send it through an insecure channel such as e-mail.

            The QR Code works for others, so it must still be something local to you on your workstation or your browser environment. There is nothing to make it fail before saving. There is no bug there or anything to solve.

            The typo is fixed, it will come in whatever version gets pushed next, didn't warrant a bump just for that.

              Someone broke the package…

              
              /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.d/pfs_custom_policies[2]: Reference "${policy.mac-addr-regexp}" not found
              /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.d/pfs_custom_policies[2]: Parse error expanding ${...} in condition
              
              

              This should fix the breakage and also the policy: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/pull/412

                Yes, I agree, definetely It isn't properly a pfsense issue but… one last thing...

                Now I changed pfsense theme from "dark beta" (grey background) to the standard (white background) and... no more issue in reading qr codes...
                perhaps the gray backgrond color interfere in some way,
                there are many components, the monitor type and resolution, the smartphone optic and image sensor... anyway now It works...
                maybe will be useful for other users  ;)

                  That would be me. Though the syntax I used was the same as what was in the stock policy to rewrite MACs. Odd. Anyhow, I merged your version. Hopefully that fixes it for good.

                    Well actually turns out the syntax was good, just the regex was undefined. I just took the one from /usr/local/etc/raddb/policy.d/canonicalization and copied that in place of the variable to avoid any escaping confusion in the heredoc.

                      Interesting.  Is the QR code a transparent image maybe letting the background color bleed through?

                        You can see his screenshot on the previous page. It's still black and white, no transparency. Though it's possible their monitor/display brightness affected it, nothing we can do for that though.

                          @jimp, random thank you for your hard work on this package.  I'm happy FreeRADIUS 2 has been retired, and 3 is doing very well.

                          I'm still having sporadic issues with my laptop losing connectivity to the outside world as described in this thread, and manually reconnecting the laptop to Wi-Fi fixes it.  I just can't narrow down what the problem is.  It never happened in the FreeRADIUS 2.x package, and it's hard to re-create.

                          It's like the laptop randomly loses the ability to do anything with hostnames, but it can use IPs just fine.  It smells like a DNS issue, but it's weird as heck why I can fix the issue by disconnecting/reconnecting to Wi-Fi and doing a fresh RADIUS query to authorize my laptop to the EAP-TLS network.

                            The MACs normalization routine now works evidently. The "MACs" table for MACAUTH must now be in lowercase for a Access-Accept, where previously, v.9-v.12 or so, we determined I needed UPPERCASE.

                              Hi,
                                Im having trouble getting this working using 2.4.0-RC (amd64) built on Tue Aug 22 09:00:41 and freeradius3 - 0.15.1.

                              I'm following the instructions here - https://blog.vonhewitt.com/2017/08/pfsense-openvpn-setup-with-freeradius3p2.html but when i goto diagnostics and test with the pin + auth code - i get login failed every time in Diagnostics\Authentication with FreeRaidus Auth selected.

                              In the syslog i get (0) Login incorrect (Failed retrieving values required to evaluate condition): [testuser] (from client OpenVPN port 0)

                              I checked the time offset, double checked the pin, tried both Google Auth and Lastpass Auth (both of which seemed to struggle to scan the Barcode by the way (Chrome + Edge) - and im not 100% sure its scanned correctly), regenerated the Init-Secret and scanned again etc, but it fails every time.

                              Its a pretty basic setup and is a brand new install - any ideas here?
