What do you have the Maximum concurrent connections set for ?
what kind of hardware?

uaxero

thanks ar4uall for you reply.

I was able to fix the problem deleting the captiveportaldn.rules in /var/db

thanks

I also got this problem..

It's seems the ruleno saved in captiveportaldn.rules is leaking. While our user count hovering around 1500 user, after 6 hour the max ruleno/captiveportaldn already 8000+.. I will monitor this but our first run last 3 days.. after that all ruleno have been used. This produce error message "System reached maximum login capacity".

Anyone can suggest how do I restart captive portal using cron nightly? Because I believe deleting captiveportaldn without clearing all ipfw pipe/table will have some side effect.

If you grab the latest captiveportal.inc from RELENG_2_1 on github and replace yours in /etc/inc/, then it should be OK. It's a bug we have fixed after 2.1-RELEASE.

I replace captiveportal.inc from https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/blob/RELENG_2_1/etc/inc/captiveportal.inc
but the result still the same. System reached maximum login capacity.

Good

My gave me the same problem and in the end the only solution I've got is to empty the contents of the file uaxero mentioned in a post above.

I leave the path: /var/db/captiveportaldn.rules

My version is 2.1.1 RELEASE

Sorry for my English

Beside deleting it, there is anyway to solute this bug?
Pfense will fix this problem ?

hello.

What you should check is : are users getting disconnected by the portal interface.
If not, then things will go wrong.

Some ideas about how to test if the disconnecting is working, see here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=67739.0

magura

At that time,The disconnected Does not seem normal!But the future users may 2000+,Has the maximum number of bug, will go wrong!

About disconnected，There are command can be executed to restart the disconnect procedure？in CLI or UI?

Can you upgrade to 2.1.2 and verify that this is not happening anymore?

Also some system specification is welcome here.

tpramos

I Have one 2.1.2 with the same problem.

I also just hit this issue on 2.1.2.

Is this valid fix for this issue or this fixes something else?

This patch looks simple ;)

What about checking if the patch is been used?

Instead of applying the patch:

			/* Release unused pipe number */
			captiveportal_free_dn_ruleno($pipeno);

use this:

			if ($pipeno) {
				captiveportal_logportalauth($cpentry[4],$cpentry[3],$cpentry[2],"CONCURRENT LOGIN - REUSING IP {$cpentry[2]} - removing pipe number {$pipeno}");
				captiveportal_free_dn_ruleno($pipeno);
			}

It seems (to me) more logic to test the value of $pipeno (should be non-zero) before using it **
And, of course, make a log so you can see that the patch was executed (and actually freeing up a pipe rule).
Remember: no more free pipes rules provokes the message "System reached maximum login capacity".

This patch is not in 2.1.3 and it should be.

Can somebody reopen this bug?
