Captive Portal logging user twice

Richthofen

Hi folks!

Im using PF Release-1 as CP and a freeradius + mysql box to store users names, passwords and accounting logs.
Freeradius dialup-admin interface shows that user has 2 open sessions, what is weird ´cause username appears only 1 time in "Online Users" both in Diaulup-Admin and PFsense CP Status

Checking detail file in freeradius box I found out that PFsense is logging the user twice as logged below.
Two logs with same date occured at the same time.

So, that´s the question:

Why Pfsense CP is logging users twice and sending this information to freeradius?

Thnx in advance

if you look at Acct-Session-Id = "04c04ba7ca392f89" and at Acct-Unique-Session-Id = "b90a52bc33ecd8b1"

you see that it is the same request
that is resend

thnx for replying jeroen234!!!

so… is it a normal action?

At least the radius server should not count it twice as it is a duplicate of the same information.

Hi all,

I'm facing the same problem as Richthofen. Does anyone know what could be the problem that causes the duplication and how to solve it?

Thanks in adv. :)

u only get a open session if the user chanches from ip
but normal this will will almost never happen

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, but I don't quite get what you mean. My problem is that, the pfsense sent two similar accounting records to the Radius server eventhough only ONE user logged in. Is there a way to solve this?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

This probably is best adressed at the m0n0 mailinglist. The CP is just a port of their code. Please verify this behaviour with a recent m0n0 before posting there.
