cnMaestro 5.2.0 Captive Portal – No Internet After Roaming Between APs

I am using cnMaestro 5.2.0 on-premise with an external guest access portal (captive portal).

AP: XV2-21X, XV2-23T

Switch: EX1010P

WLAN: Same SSID across AP

APs are in same AP group.

VLAN: Same VLAN across all APs

Same IP pool

Security: Enhanced Open (OWE)

Issue:

When a client connects to the WLAN for the first time, authentication through the captive portal works fine and internet access is available.

However, when the client moves/roams to another AP, the device:

Remains connected at the radio level (shows connected to the AP)

Keeps the same IP address

But loses internet access

Authentication prompt appears after some time.

Question:

Is there any known issue or required configuration in cnMaestro 5.2.0 for client roaming with captive portal + Enhanced Open?

Do we need to enable any specific roaming, mobility, or session-persistence settings to maintain internet access when moving between APs?
