Captive portal issues

digilink

I setup a custom portal page and it's not working as intended and I'm struggling to figure out why. The inital redirect happens when I try to access a website (i.e. google) and this the URL that is displayed in the browser bar:

192.168.1.1:8000/index.php?rediurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

My custom page is displayed, but if I enter my predefined user or a voucher, I get redirected right back to it (instead of to google.com as my example):

192.168.1.1:8000

Here's the relevant form from my custom page, which is named index.php:


<form method="post" action="$PORTAL_ACTION$">

# STEPHENNET NETWORKS

Please authenticate with username/password given

username:
password:
voucher code:

My end goal is to be able to use vouchers and username/passwords, and neither are working. Don't know if there's a mistake in my HTML or not, but I can't seem to put a finger on it…..
</form>

What browser are you using?

What happens if you give an invalid voucher code?

If you give a valid voucher code is this accepted and registered as "in use"? (See Status -> Captive Portal, click on Active Vouchers tab)

My knowledge of HTML is small. Why are using class="form-login" in the input fields? My captive portal greeting page doesn't include the class element in the input tags.

I use Chrome 95% of the time, but Internet Explorer and Firefox also produce the same results. I don't get an error page if I submit an invalid voucher code, nor do I show a voucher code in use if I submit a valid one. The class is just used for styling, it's being referenced from a CSS file….

In Firefox 3.6.24 I connected to my pfSense 2.0.1 Captive Portal. In the Firefox View menu I selected Page Source and it displayed

<form method="post" action="http://192.168.51.211:8000/">
Please enter your authorisation information:

Username: and
Password:

OR

Voucher Code:

Then click the Continue button below:

in a new window. I went back to the CP home page, entered a valid voucher code and went straight to http://www.google.com.au/advanced_search.

I think the basic CP mechanism works. Maybe some of the "fancy" HTML in your page is getting in the way. Your document appears to have a closing tag ("") without a matching opening tag ("<a>") and the "
" tags seem an unusual construct.</a>

I mentioned problems when I enter on CP page as redirection URL jus:
www.google.com

I need to enter:
http://www.google.de

Then the redirection is working - if without http:// I got a loop.

Not sure, if this is related to your problem.
