One Voucher Per Device
-
Using vouchers ?
Don't think so. That means changing the code - > more php editing in this case.But I'm doing exactly that right know at my work : a hotel.
Classic login users (not vouchers) - and a unique password for each room.
And freeradius, that limit just fine each user at 2 max logins. -

-
A voucher can be for one device or anyone with the code. There is no numeric limit that can be applied.

No progress, no code needed.
As said, you need Freeradius. The package.
On the first user you declare in Freeradius, you add this in the advanced section :
All further user will use this setting : not more then 2 logins per account.
How to set up Freeradius ?
That's not a question. This thing is huge and needs to be studied. It's like a mail server or web server, there is no such thing as "a click here and click therr and your up".I advise that you start looking at the videos from Netgate on Youtube.
Not that it really matters, but I'm using a MySQL (Maria) DB server for the Freeradius storage needs. That just a choice, none is needed actually, Freeradius can also work with a flat file data base, stored on the pfSense drive.

@Gertjan ...ok.. i have added this above line in the freeRadius, with option 3 (First sessions per username / voucher) selected in non concurrent login, but only one device can log in, the second device comes wit the error "reuse of id not allowed'
am i missing something?? -
@colleytech said in One Voucher Per Device:
the second device comes wit the error "reuse of id not allowed'

- many
- only last
- only first
Right ?
You can't change that behavior, except if you are will to "play"with the code (PHP script).If you are willing to drop voucher usage, and step over to the classic user/password,
and
you use FreeRadius
then
you could have something like
" Simultaneous-Use := 3 "
(maximum 2 user per login now ) -

(maximum 2 user per login now )@Gertjan your code works with freeRadius users, thats what i use it for.. i dont mind going without vouchers..
if you use the default pfsense php code, the simultaneous-use =3 will work, but it wil always disconnect the logged in user, to make way for the new login...
just like what your code is doing, stopping reuse of id without disconnecting the current user,, is there a way to achieve that with freeRadius.. whereby, after two devices logs in, the third one will be dropped, instead of the already logged in devices..

" Simultaneous-Use := 3 "
(maximum 2 user per login now )@Gertjan i am still battling with this
... is there a way i could use this and stil not get my two connected devices disconnected when a third login attempt is done..
the goal is to get two devices per user, then a third login will be dropped instead of it, disconnecting an already connected device..thanks in advance

Without it : I guess not. -

kindly indulge me, whenever i do it with freeradius, two devices will connect, but a third device attempting to log in will always disconnect one of the already logged in devices, thats what i am trying to avoid,,, if there is any additional setting or line of code to be added, kindly point me to it, -

That's not my experience.The " Simultaneous-Use := 2 " statement will not allow a third login.
It doesn't kick out one of the two already logged in users.Example :
Room number (== uiser) 116 : 2 parents and 3 kids.
2 iPads, 3 iPhones, some Samsung device, a Kindle and some other wifi device (a portable PC ?).The first two logins for user "116" work fine, a third one get authenticated (same user = "116" and password) but gets thrown out a couple of seconds during the REAUTHENTICATION process : the max user threshold was reached.

@Gertjan i must be missing something,,,
i have restored the box to factory and setup captive portal fresh, with no concurrent checked, and Simultaneous-Use := 3 placed in the freeRad user, i can get just one user connected, other subsequent users disconnects the first user "not what i want"..............no concurrent unchecked and Simultaneous-Use := 3 placed in the freeRad user, i can log in with multiple devices, "not what i want"
applying your patch to select
1.many
2. only last
3. only first
and Simultaneous-Use := 3 placed in the freeRad user, doesnt still get the job done,,,,
what can i post here for you to check -
@colleytech said in One Voucher Per Device:
applying your patch to select

@colleytech said in One Voucher Per Device:

I have to check things tomorrow, when I'm on site.
Look at my image = log again.
See (bottom) the oldest login. Just above (log is reverse) some OTHER 116 user is disconnected ... etc. -

@Gertjan maybe u didn't test the patch,, that patch overrides every setting, anything u apply on freeRadius doesnt reflect, as far as the patch is there.. the patch is so powerful

See (bottom) the oldest login. Just above (log is reverse) some OTHER 116 user is disconnected ... etc.@Gertjan please do,, i wil be so grateful if i accomplish my goal

Captive portal users get message you are connected but there is no internet
I was trying to apply this patch and I'm getting below error:
Patch can NOT be applied cleanly (detail)
Patch can NOT be reverted cleanly (detail)I can apply the patch by editing the below files,
src/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc
src/etc/inc/system.inc
src/usr/local/captiveportal/index.phpbut I'm using your version of 'src/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc'
What is the solution for this?
Thanks in advance

See the 'other' thread that handles that subject.
See also here : https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/4042 the solution is in feedback stage. The patch can be imported 'official' (again, see other other thread for details how to do so).This thread handles an entire other issue.
