This post is deleted! -
@Gertjan i will explain my problem here..
my company providing internet in labourcamps..i want to create vouchers for 30 days..every month i want to provide new voucher..1 voucher for 1 phone..almost 500 members in camp..
disabled concurrent login
i created captive portal and vouchers with the help of youtube video and tried many options..but my voucher can use multiples phones..the last login is active..my problem is peoples using same card for 2 peoples(day shift peoples give voucher to night shift peoples while they going to work ) this is a big problem..any solutions?

That SHOULD delete the first MAC address and replace it with the second. There should only be one MAC address passed through at a time. That should stop them from sharing codes.

@Derelict so no need to disable concurrent login ?

Of course you should disable concurrent login if you don't want concurrent logins.

It should be working as you stated.
It doesn't.The last login will be granted, previous user using the same code are ejected.
That's the problem of @ajmaltms .
The code changes I tested out ones - in the linked thread - does just that : ones a voucher is used for a login, another login using the same voucher will be denied. This works as long as the voucher is listed in the "connected user list". For this reason I advise big values for soft and hard time out. If not, the user who obtained the voucher initially can't login again if he gave it to some one else .... (not a bad situation actually ... very educational )edit : I managed ones to use the same functionality using User/passwords and FreeRadius.
A setting like this for a user :
enforces one user at the time using a unique user/password pair.
You'll be needing FreeRadius (and probably - I advise - some database like MySQL or MariaDB running on some server).

You :

That's how it works now.
What @ajmaltms wants : Voucher being used ones not usable for a next (concurrent) login.
The actual pfSense approach is based on the fact that some one how obtains a voucher can use it for (his) multiple devices.
For his smartphone,then his tablet, and then his portable PC - to wind up using it on his game box.
Every time the voucher is used 'again', the existent connection is shut down ( note : this should already inhibit non voluntary voucher sharing = when you 'loose' your voucher you loose your connection.)
@ajmaltms has other experiences. As he explained above. -
That would be a feature request.
-
Yup - that's what I proposed earlier in this thread - a day or so ago.
But : I have some code to play with that does just what @ajmaltms wants. -
Then that would be a pull request for that feature request :)
-
@Gertjan yes..Voucher being used ones not usable for a next (concurrent) login..is it possible ?

This is not the forum for feature and pull requests.
https://redmine.pfsense.org/
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/ -
Don't worry, won't publish any PHP stuff here.
Just want to be sure I'm writing something useful.When done and tested, I'll locate a feature request if one exists, and add my implementation as a pull request / review.
-
No problem posting it. It's just that it probably won't get looked at by the right people unless it is put in the right places.
-
@Gertjan which version is this ? i am using 2.4.4 i cant see that 3 options in my version...
-
I already went through the Forum => Redmine => Github phase twice, I guess.
@ajmaltms :
I'm using the same version as you. pfSense 2.4.4p2I just have edited the code on my own pfSense setup.
Does the image looks good to you ?
As @Derelict stated, there is a whole procedure to respect when one want to change the 'official' code.
As said, this will take some time. -
@Gertjan yes..thats what i want...first login..
