2.1.2 Web interface timing out!

[kapara]

I was in the process of setting up a Radius server under user manager

Set it up.

Went to diagnostics to test authentication and after submitting the web interface for pfSense no longer works.  Not from inside or outside.

I have noticed this on one other firewall wall which was upgraded to 2.1.2

I tried option 11 from the SSH interface to restart the webConfigurator but still no success.  This is really bad!

Anyone have any clue as to how to get it resolved without having to powercycle the device?

Update

So it looks like it finally responded.  Went back in and tried to do it again and again the interface is non-responsive.  Only resetting WebConfigurator resolves it.

Now when I also click on:  You can check your IPsec status at Status:IPsec. it locks up the web interface also.

I am not locked out.  Locked out would assume I create a rule that created this.  I have not modified the rules!

[kapara]

It is still doing it.  Going to:

Diagnostics: Authentication

and testing credentials locks up the web interface.

Only resetting the webConfigurator resolves the issue!

I've actually never tried that button until today, but I cannot replicate on a 2.1.2 system with a Windows server setup as RADIUS. Have you tried another username/password?

[kapara]

I am trying to setup syslog to send me events so i can see what is occuring when it happnes

[dotdash]

I do not think that test logs anything.
I got bold and tried a second unit, and it is fine also. One is nano, one is full. Both are 2.1.2
Radius in both cases is a Windows box running NPS for OpenVPN auth purposes.

[kapara]

even clicking on ipsec status causes it to timeout completely.

Can you access the firewall via console?  Check your CPU status.  Perhaps something is gumming up the works, so to speak.
