MAC Authentication Fallback - Captive Portal

Products cnMaestro
1

Hello everybody!

cnMaestro…

I’m configuring an “Open” WLAN, where connections will be redirected to a captive portal to authenticate to a Radius server.

When I select the “MAC Authentication Fallback” option, new connections “bypass” the captive portal and try to navigate directly, without authenticating. When I disable the function, all new connections are redirected to the portal.

I need the “MAC Authentication Fallback” enabled and all new connections to be directed to the captive portal.

Has anyone ever experienced this??

Tks!

Hi Valois,

  1. Could you please share the tech dump of the AP and Config file of the AP.
  2. When you enable MAC auth fall back, please make sure that you are removing the client MAC address from the RADIUS server.

Thanks

Hi Raja,

Follow the requested files.

We always remove the MAC from the client (on the RADIUS server) for testing.

Thank you again!
