[pfSense Support] Captive portal - REDIR pages not working correctly

[Dziuk, Fred J]

I have been using m0n0wall with a few custom Web pages for user authentication.  I have the initial page that displays an Acceptable Use Policy that must be ACKNOWLEDGED, then an authentication page (username/password), and then a final “Here is what you CAN and CANNOT do” page.  This works on m0n0wall V1.21 and 1.22.  I need larger servers, so I purchased a couple of DELL PowerEdge 850s.  The problem was that FreeBSD 4 does not seem to support SATA or Broadcom GigabitEthernet.  I happened to come across pfSense.  I downloaded the ISO and booted it up.  I copied it to the hard drive (using the “99” function).  Everything went really smooth.  But now that I have added my custom Web authentication pages (via Portal Page Contents and File Manager sections), the initial AUP page comes up but when I CLICK on the OK, the second page (username/password) can not be found.  The URL is the original URL with the local reference file added to it (Example: If my HOME page was www.microsoft.com, the URL for the second page would be www.microsoft.com/CaptivePortal2.html , instead of just CaptivePortal2.html which is located in local storage).  It seems that the REDIRURL is being prepended to my local web page reference.  Also, the “Authentication Error Page Contents” has a “View Current Page”, which only displays the main page (Portal Page Contents) – not the Error Page.  Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
