Hi there,

redirecting to captive portal works fine as long as the user wants to
visit an unsecured page.

But when trying to get a page over SSL and  being trapped by
Packetfence, there is, IMHO, no way to avoid a "man in the middle" error
from the browser.

Hence the user can not access the portal.

"The owner of google.com has configured their website improperly. To
protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to
this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that
Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to
add an exception for this certificate."

There reason is that the server can not redirect a request for a certain
domain over SSL when his certificate was issued for a different domain
name.

Is there a way around this? I wonder how other NAS solutions with
captive portal solve this issue...

Any advice will be much appreciated!

Regards,
Till
