After updating to version 2.4.4 "RADIUS MAC Authentication Failed."

@free4
I have tried the latest 2.4.4 image to a fresh install, and it doesn't have this feature, do I miss anything ?

I have applied the patch to 2.4.4, but the login page is broken/corrupted showing random latin characters.

The default, build in login page ?

@michaeleino oops....you are right

the feature has been added in 2.4.4 on 9 October ( https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/bb90e3c57bec5ad24df5f9fdd51d9eadbf3792df ) but the latest ISO is from 20th September

I thought that Netgate was re-generating 2.4.4 ISO every time a commit is performed on the associated github branch ? is Netgate having issue with their build system?

Well, sorry for my bad advice then.

then what you could do is install "patch" package, and manually install this patch :

url/commit ID : https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/bb90e3c57bec5ad24df5f9fdd51d9eadbf3792df.diff

path strip count : 2
base directory : /
ignore whitespace : checked or not checked are both ok

@Gertjan, yes it was the default -- may be I have applied the patch incorrectly.

@free4 they shouldn't push a new image without changing the version release.. I think it is on purpose :)

I have applied the patch using the system patch and it looks working on a fresh install, will apply this in a night action.. and will get back if there are issues.

not sure, the logo image is missing due to not logged-in yet or it is missing.. not a big issue.

Thanks a lot for the help.

I am with the same problem, could it be solved is there any other way to do what we need? Mac and user in parallel? apart from that I had to add the mac users directly to the captive portal otherwise it gave me problems, the users were disconnected quite unstable the radius was put on. tanks a lot.

@maritoja please check my previous reply.

and btw, I can confirm that the captive portal is working well using RADIUS server, as long as you don't re-configure it all the time (there is currently an issue when re-configuring a captivportal while users are currently connected. see https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8616 )

Ok, I can confirm this works, if we set our login.php (Portal page contents) to the error.php (Auth error page contents)`.

But how to show a custom error page (Auth error page contents) then in case the user enters a faulty password on the fallback login page?

RADIUS -> Custom login.php -> Password wrong?

Try it out for yourself.
If auth error, the error page will be shown. It's basically the same page as the login page, with one "error text place holder" added.

Ok, thank you for the response, this sounds good :)

Therefore the Portal page contents can be left empty for this scenario?

Left to "default"that is - the default error page is not empty - it's a login page with an extra line that reflects the error that occurred during a previous login attempt.
