Use of multiple Web pages in Captive Portal Auth with pfSense

[Dziuk, Fred J]

Earlier, I had posted a problem I am having with presenting multiple
Web pages as part of the Captive Portal Authentication process and
received no responses. The first page (Acceptable Use policy) comes up
OK, but when you CLICK the button to go to the next page (the real Login
page), the URL has the original destination (HOME page) prepended to the
file ID of the real page. This makes a bogus reference to a
non-existent page which tries to start the whole AUTH process over and
you get stuck on the first page. Has anyone successfully added multiple
Web pages to the AUTH process (using File Manager for the additional
pages)? This works perfectly in m0n0wall. Could the m0n0wall Captive
Portal code have been modified when added to pfSense? Maybe I am coding
the Web page incorrectly. I really would appreciate someone's comment
and/or examples on this problem. Thanks.

I have not had time to look at this. It's on my list. No need to
keep posting, thanks.

Have you posted code examples anywhere? Perhaps that would help
testing things out if the devs didn't have to recreate your work?

I spent some time on this a couple of months ago. The dev think that
nothing has been changed but it does seem that something is up. There is
a call somewhere that redirects it back I just cannot remember where it
is.

We wanted additional page in the captive portal to allow the downloading
of pppoe dialer and howto for changing clients across and some other
payment related stuff for hostspot use.

It just got put on back burner. But your interest has made me think I
should get that done now as well
