RE: Captive portal trouble with LG phones

2016-10-13 Thread Turner, Ryan H
I despise captive portal detection on devices.  On our onboarding platform, I 
do everything possible to PREVENT the automatic popup of browsers due to 
problems like these (and many others).  For you to really figure this out, you 
are likely going to need to do a packet capture of the session and see what 
that users phone is attempting to connect to.  I would be doing a packet 
capture to poke some holes through so that the captive portal browser never 
opens in the first place.

I forgot to mention we're currently running 5.4. We've had this trouble 3-4 
times in the past few weeks, and every time it is a brand new LG phone.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Captive portal trouble with LG phones

We use PacketFence as our NAC and have a captive portal to allow users to 
self-register their devices. In the past couple of weeks we've had problems 
with the latest LG phones (other Androids work fine) disconnecting in the 
middle of a captive portal session; it won't stay connected long enough to 
register the device. It seems similar to the old Apple "success.html" test for 
internet connectivity, but I haven't been able to determine if that is the 
case. Has anyone else seen this issue with new LG phones?

We use PacketFence on our captive portal and I have not seen this issue or any 
reports of it.  Let me know if you have more detail on this - I'll keep an eye 
out for it.

Thanks,
