      Hi,

      I tried to enable the Captive Portal on my pfSense machine with Radius based authentication. The Radius server is on zeroshell machine and runs on a different local subnet.

      Anyway, every time I try to log in and see if the setup works, I get an error message that says something like

      Didn't get a proper response…

      . Then every second time I try to log in, the following error occurs:

      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4294967295 bytes) in /etc/inc/radius.inc on line 446

      The same error occurs on subsequent tries. Until I connect to a different network, disconnect, connect to pfSense Lan once again and repeat the whole process. The same thing happens. I read this thread https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=79139.msg431558#msg431558 discussing a somewhat similar problem but the "solution" given there did not solve the issue.

      Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks!

        Hello,

        This:
        @jultra:

        Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4294967295 bytes) in /etc/inc/radius.inc on line 446

        Here -  in /etc/inc/radius.inc on line 446:

                while ($attrib = radius_get_attr($this->res)) {
        

        The PHP function radius_get_attr($this->res) 'explodes' when parsing the result send back by the Radius server.
        This is a original PHP function.

        What pfSEnse version are you using ?
        Can you use the same Radius software as in the other thread ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Hi Gertjan,

          The first error I mentioned was caused by a misconfiguration of the client's authorization (NAS) within the freeradius server that I was using. After I realized my mistake and fixed it, the setup worked as expected and I did not encounter the same problem again.

          Anyway, the freeradius server I was using is the one included on zeroshell 2.0.RC.

          Cheers,

          John

            What was the configuration issue?  Can you post the resolution?  I am also having a problem with 2.1.5
