Captive portal not working with https enabled

bilbus · Dec 28, 2009, 10:23 AM

I have no issues if i do use http.

but as soon as i use https it no longer works.

I copied the cert and key from the pfsence webgui generated one.

when i telnet to ip:8001 i get the generic response … not the detailed one that i get if i telnet to 8000 with http enabled.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

I don't have any linux boxes that i can install openssl on.

whats the error presented to the browser?

I once had a box that would generate invalid certs in one part of the gui, for example, so try another part of the gui that geterates certs and copy that one.

forgot to mention, if you are trying to access any other port besides 443/80/81/8080 (the standard http ports) it will NOT work. you mentioned telnet, if you try to access email through outlook on a network that has a cp outlook wont work you have to open a browser first and then go through the cp stuff before getting on the net.
