Handling Captive Portal / RADIUS Errors

This app can handle errors that may encountered during the authentication process (e.g.: maximum available daily/monthly time or bandwidth have been consumed).

To use this feature, you will have to update the error page of your captive portal to use postMessage for forwarding any error message to OpenWISP WiFi Login Pages.

Here is an example of authentication error page for pfSense:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <script>
      window.parent.postMessage(
        {type: "authError", message: "$PORTAL_MESSAGE$"},
        "https://wifi-login-pages.example.com/",
      );
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Note

Replace https://wifi-login-pages.example.com/ with origin of your OpenWISP WiFi Login Pages service.

With the right configuration, the error messages coming from freeradius or the captive portal will be visible to users on OpenWISP WiFi Login Pages.
