Captive Portal Crash

@wazim4u hi,
Missing boundary in multipart/form-data POST data in Unknown on line 0
This indicate an HTML error on the login page.Could you confirm if you have a custom login(or error?) page, which is having a file input
(<input type="file" >) ....but is not setting multipart/from data ? (<form enctype="multipart/from-data">) ?If yes...that's the reason for the error. Please add
enctype="multipart/from-data">to your form -
@free4 Yes i am having Custom login & error page. and i didn't find "<input type = file> " this is my login & error code
<form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$" class="login"> <h1>Voucher Authentication</h1> <input type="text" name="auth_voucher" class="login-input" placeholder="Voucher Code" autofocus> <input type="submit" name="accept" value="Continue" class="login-submit"> <p class="footer">© 2019 Campco. Powered By: <a href="https://www.ilinks.ae">iLinks</a>.</p> </form>and this is Error page form code
<form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$" class="login"> <h1>Voucher Authentication</h1> <p class="login-error">$PORTAL_MESSAGE$</p> <input type="text" name="auth_voucher" class="login-input" placeholder="Voucher Code" autofocus> <input type="submit" name="accept" value="Continue" class="login-submit"> <p class="footer">© 2019 Campco. Powered By: <a href="https://www.ilinks.ae">iLinks</a>.</p> </form> -
@wazim4u : switching to the default build in login (error) page solves the issue ?
-
@gertjan I need to test it. System in Production with 2500 Users
do I need to add given code to login page ?<input name="redirurl" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_REDIRURL$"> -
@wazim4u :
Yep : this example is the strict minimum :
Ok, if you use vouchers only you could leaving out - using a PHP "if" block ? the lines :
<input name="auth_user" type="text"> <input name="auth_pass" type="password">Leaving out
<input name="redirurl" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_REDIRURL$">and if you redirect logged in user 'by force' to a fixed page like
might work (did test myself).

and
@wazim4u said in Captive Portal Crash:
Current system is 2.5.0.a.20201215.1520 (build from before yesterday)
Now, that's what I would call a real problem .....
But thanks for testing like that
-
@gertjan Thanks for Guidance. I was having a lot issues with 2.4 version but since switched to 2.5-Development its going stable . I believe its risky but in production environment you can only test system features & performance real time. Only Major issue faced during captive portal production whenever lot people try to connect to system with voucher ( example disconnect all connected users ) php-fpm got crashed and Nginx gives 502 bad gateway error. I tried to tweak Nginx but it reverts back settings. Default settings seems not ready for high production environment
-
@wazim4u alternatively, could you try to add enctype="multipart/from-data" to your form?
<form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$" class="login" enctype="multipart/from-data">It should do the job.
I am actually wondering if it's a new bug ...

Don't tweek the nginix 'captive portal instance' config files for the captive portal, these :
/var/etc/nginx-[zone ]-CaptivePortal-SSL.conf
and
/var/etc/nginx-[zone]-CaptivePortal.confHave a look here where they are constructed :/etc/inc/system.inc : the function function system_generate_nginx_config
As any other file, file can get overwritten when up upgrade. -
@free4 Thanks for the input. I am testing with recent changes made in login page and error page I added these two lines to them for test as mentioned in Pfsense documentation
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/captiveportal/configuration.html#captiveportal-custompages
These two code lines<input name="redirurl" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_REDIRURL$"> <input name="zone" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_ZONE$">Since two hours no crash error so far on Dashboard. I will keep an eye for 1-2 days then try your suggestion if not fixed.
-
@wazim4u are you still facing this error ?
I also have a question : would you be able to able to narrow the issue to specific navigators/OS?
Using the time of the PHP error, you may be able to find the source IP/the login or voucher that triggered the error...and ask the associated user what browser is being used?I'm asking this because I would like to ensure your issue is specific to your custom HTML page, and is not a global bug
I tried to reproduce your issue in a lab using multiple up-to-date browsers. I wasn't successful...but I may have missed something.

@free4 Sorry for late reply was busy with one Project. Since I added given below code to Login and Error page no error reported so far ( almost 5 days now )
Its a labor camp having any different mobile brands like Oppo , Redmi, Apple, Samsung, HUAWEI, Honor. you just name it. I have two sites in production on 2.5-Dev since one year two only services, Load balancing & Captive Portal ( Voucher )
<input name="redirurl" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_REDIRURL$"> <input name="zone" type="hidden" value="$PORTAL_ZONE$">current issue on both sites I am having is related to PHP-FPM repeatedly given errors appearing in syslogs
