Ahh.  Yes. You can generate a csr from pf with the appropriate host name.
Google it.  Lots of pages on it.

  Okay – here is what is going on:



I have a Windows domain controller which is a local CA.



PacketFence Server is inside the network using AD as the authentication
source.



If the portal isn’t secure, then an intruder using snort can find “post”
requests and obtain the clear text credentials.  For this reason, https
must be utilized.



When a client, who’s PC is a member of the domain plugs into the network
and is redirected to the captive portal, the certificate isn’t trusted.

I can download the certificate and apply it trusted in AD GP, however the
certificate is issued to 127.0.0.1 instead of  the dns name.



I cannot request a certificate to my local CA from the PacketFence Server.



I don’t want to purchase a certificate when I have a local CA and this
server never see’s the outside world.



Thanks,

Scott

There is no way to make it happen unless you preinstall a wildcard
certificate on every connecting computer.   If a client tries to connect to
https://someesite.com, the root ca for that cert must be in their
certificate store or you will get an error.   Now...  If you are talking
about a domain YOU control then you can use a wildcard domain cert for the
portal pages and any site in YOUR domain will work. But NEVER for an
outside domain.

 I receive a certificate error as well.  It would be a nice feature to be
able to request a certificate from a local csr and apply a local domain
certificate to PF.

Hello Montana,



I will check the certificate and I will get back to you.



You can disable the auto redirect on the https under Configuration >
Captive Portal > Secure Redirect


Thanks,

 Hello,



Currently, if our users hit the portal redirect when attempting to access
an https site they receive a message indicating that the site is untrusted.
We have been advising users to fist go to a http site to hit the portal but
this is becoming more problematic.



Is there a way to prevent the portal redirect untrusted message?



We are running PacketFence 4.5.1 with a signed wildcard certificate for the
portal.
